The meaning is basically the same, however I think "rational" is the more correct way to describe a person and "logical" to describe objects and other stuff like decisions.

Yes “logical” means produced by logic so therefore it’s almost the mathematical result. “Rational” from someone’s mind. Sensible, reasonable thinking. For example 2+2=4 is very clearly logical but you wouldn’t really describe it as rational instead.
