Then is used for time, and than is a comparative word.
First mix the ingredients then bake it. I am bigger than you.
Some native speakers that can't spell properly sometimes mix them up.

Then -
It is used as either an adverb or adjective.
Examples/
At a certain time: "Where were you at three o'clock?" "I was at school then."
Next in time or order (order of events): "We went to the park, then we went to a restaurant."
In addition: "First you need a license, then you can drive."
In that case: "If I can't find the classroom, then I can't take the test."
Most uses of 'then' have to do with time so keep in mind sentences regarding 'next in time' or 'at the time'.
Than -
It is used for making comparisons
Examples/
"I would rather sleep than read."
"I like red more than blue."
"Burgers are better than salads."
