C0 Continuity: The most basic level. At the junction, the segments simply touch each other without a gap.
C1 Continuity: Here, not only do the segments touch, but their tangents/slopes at the junction also match.
C2,C3,...(Higher order) Continuity: These involve matching higher-order derivatives (curvature, jerk, etc.) at junctions, resulting in even smoother transitions.

At first I thought C0 was the strongest since the slides are a bit confusing. But after watching several times I realized that C2 has the most condition to be fulfilled. and the contraints to meet C2 > C1 > C0

Does a curve having C2 continuity give any extra useful properties over having C0 or C1 continuity besides visual differences?

The summary was helpful, it would be nice to have a slide on the differences
