What’s the difference between on and circulate on thermostat?

What’s the difference between auto and fan on thermostat?
The difference between “On” and “Auto” The fan is located in the inside unit and helps distribute the conditioned air throughout your home. “Auto” means that the fan automatically works ONLY when the air is being heated or cooled. So once your home reaches the temperature set on the thermostat, the fan stops.
What is the best way to circulate air with a fan?
In the summer, make sure your fan is rotating counterclockwise. This will push the air straight down and create that wind chill effect. In winter, it’s best if your fan rotates the opposite direction: clockwise. That way, air is pushed upwards so heat can circulate and keep you warm.
