Precognition is looking into the future or being able to accurately predict it.
Clairvoyance is having unique sight or vision outside of your normal range. Being able to see someone from a mile away while your eyes are closed for example.

It's similar to Extrasensory Perception but usually limited to vision of some sort.

Actually these term are similar, almost the same in some verse

This is kind...not totally accurate.

Precognition do not always mean looking into the future literally, the true meaning of the ability is, feeling something will happen before it happen

Clairvoyance mean clear sight, the power itself encompassing many including Precogition, Retrocognition, Extrasensory Perception and even Cosmic Awareness, depend on how it is displayed by the user. Anyway this power have vast range in usage

i think power is almost similar, clairvoyance is getting information from an object (this can be from past/future)

It is information analysis, but yes Clairvoyance can also cover this ability

 

[Mr._Undetected]

Yes, in short, precognition only sees/predicts events that will happen, nothing more

While Clairvoyance includes various other enhanced/magical sense powers (in the sense of finding out something), the case is the same as Reality Warping which has several sub-abilities.
