Answer:

Enantiomers are the non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

Diastereomers are the stereisomers that are not a reflection or mirror images of each other.  

Explanation:

Stereoisomers are the chemical molecules having the same molecular formula and bond connectivity but different arrangement of atoms in space.

Stereoisomers are of two types: Enantiomers and Diastereomers

Enantiomers are the non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Enantiomers are also called optical isomers.

Diastereomers are the stereisomers that are not a reflection or mirror images of each other. Diastereomers include E-Z isomers, cis–trans isomers, meso compounds, non-enantiomeric optical isomers.
