ELI5: What is the difference between a power chord and a regular chord in guitars?

I am trying to differentiate the two but do not understand the music theory jargon explaining the two.

C Major chord has the notes C - E - G.

C minor chord has the notes C - E flat - G

As you can see, the note that distinguishes the two chords is that differing middle note. 

And a  power chord is missing that middle note, so it is neither Major nor minor.

For example, the C power chord is C-G.
