Y axis of Burndown chart

I have been interviewing scrum masters. After talking to 25+ candidates, this question still waits to get answered correctly.

What is the difference between release Burndown and sprint Burndown.

I ask this question differently, primarily to identify if the candidate is googling live.

I usually ask - what do you see in the y axis of Release Burndown and what do see in the y axis of Sprint Burndown chart?

Answers for those who are learning now: In Y axis, Sprint burn down has hours todo. Release burndown has story points todo. Should there be a burndown for CXOs, it would have SWAG (todo) of the features in Y axis.

It is always 'Time' ( days, releases or Qts) in X axis.
