What is the difference between 상태 and 사태? They both mean situation, don't they?

[daeya_]

From Naver dictionary: 상태 = state, condition,, situation.
사태 = situation, state (of affairs), matter of affairs.

For example: 사태가 심각해지고 있다 = The matter is getting serious.
사태가 수습되고 있다. - the situation is settling down.

<pre> 상태를 말씀해 주세요.= Please explain your condition/status . 몸 상태는 어때요? - How's your physical condition? 상태는 아주 좋습니다 = In excellent condition. </pre>
