Hi Omni,
These are all prepositions. Prepositions such as "In", "At and "On" are words used to indicate location and time.
Location:

I reside in San Francisco. (Within an area)
Your eraser is in your drawer. (Inside an enclosed place.)
You look silly standing on the rooftop.(Supported by a surface)
Time:
The meeting will start at 3 pm. (A specific time)
The flight is scheduled to land in two hours' time. (Within a time frame)
Janet was born in 1996. (Event that took place in a particular year.)
Music lessons are held on Fridays. (Event that takes place on a certain day of the week)
The summer season starts in July. (Event that takes place in a certain month of the year)
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Lance

Type this into google (or bing, or yandex...): "difference in on at"
This is a very general question, and of course many people have asked this.
This means many more people have answered the question. So go and have a look! :)
