its meaning is the same, the difference is the way to use it. 'your' usually is used in the beginning of the sentence and 'yours' in the end. "It's your book" - "This book is yours". I hope I've helped you ^-^

Your is a possessive adjective:
Yours is a possessive pronoun:
*Your house is white!
*That house of yours is white!
Basically, those two sentences above have the same meaning.
hope that helps
