''No'' is an answer.
''Non'' is a negation.
I.e.:
''Vieni con me al cinema?''
''NO, mi dispiace ma NON ho soldi''.
Hope it's clear ;)

/non/ is used near a verb, to negate its meaning.
/no/ is used as a short answer, or to express a choice when preceded by /o/, as in
these examples:
1. Vuoi andare al cinema o no?
2. Ti piace stare qui oppure no?
Possible /no/ answers:
1. no.
1. non voglio andare al cinema.
2. no.
2. non mi piace stare qui, andiamo via.

No is the opposite of yes
Non means "not"
