[General science fiction] What's the difference between a Torpedo and Missile?

What is the difference between a spaceborne torpedo and a missile?  How do they differ, generally?

Edit: Cheers!

In space the difference is mostly semantic.  Large spaceships are typically treated as naval vessels (and with good reason) so weapons focused on their destruction (larger, slower munitions) are typically called torpedoes.  By comparison, smaller fighter craft are generally treated as an air force, and thus munitions targeting them use the same terminology.
