Basicamente os dois significam ''Levantar'' e ''erguer'', contudo 'Raise' é um verbo transitivo, um verbo que precisa de um objeto (um complemento para ser mais específico).
Terry raised her hand to wave at her friend. Terry levanta o quê? A mão dela, se a frase fosse somente 'Terry raise' não faria sentido, então é um verbo transitivo. Na maioria das vezes há uma preposição. Às vezes.
E 'rise' é um verbo intransitivo, então não precisa de um objeto, um complemento.
The sun has already risen this morning.
A melhor dica é ler várias frases ou até mesmo formar frases para praticar. Bye.

Rise doesn't need an object and raise does.
Examples:
The sun rises every day.
She raised *her child* alone. ("Her child" = object)
