Is it better to buy gold or gold ETF?

Could you please elaborate on the pros and cons of investing in physical gold versus gold ETFs? I'm torn between the two options and would like to understand the key differences in terms of risk, liquidity, and potential returns. For instance, how does the price movement of a gold ETF compare to the price movement of actual gold? Also, what are the associated costs and fees involved in each type of investment? Additionally, could you discuss the convenience factor of each investment option? I'm curious to know if there's a significant difference in terms of ease of buying, selling, and storing. Thank you for your insights!
