answer
Since 「泊まる」has already been answered I'll try explaining 「留まる」. 留まる describes
the position and movement of an object/person/anything, more specifically,
"staying in place"/motionless state of an object, which could potentially
move. e.g: Bird stopping on the tree, chemical molecule in space.
