Questions
Is SHA-512 more secure than SHA-256?
It has a larger output and a wider security margin, but SHA-256 is not close to being broken, so for most purposes the difference is theoretical. SHA-512 is often faster on 64-bit hardware, which is a more practical reason to prefer it.
Why is the output so long?
SHA-512 produces 512 bits, rendered as 128 hexadecimal characters. SHA-256 produces half that.
