EC2 dashboard showing all launched, stopped, and recently terminated instances.
Running instances are virtual machines, and you are being billed by the second whether you are connected to them or not. Stopped instances are billed for space required to store their memory and data. Stopped instances can be re-started, but state of the memory (RAM) is not guaranteed to be preserved.
