What is the difference between the terms "software life cycle models" and "software development methodologies"?

Tell me the difference between the terms: software life cycle models and software development methodology? A little confused. To get general information, I looked at Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%86%D0%...

The software life cycle model describes what stages software goes through from birth to death and what is done with it at these stages.
A development methodology is a set of methods for managing software development, a set of practical rules for how software should be developed.
Development methodologies cover the first few stages of the software life cycle.
The Software Life Cycle Model needs to be known for general development, but Development Methodologies need to be practiced to be a successful developer or team.
