I would like to know the difference between the following commands:

  1. sudo x11vnc
  2. sudo x11vnc -auth /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority -display :0

It is the same command so there is no difference.

If you meant: what do the options mean: the manual explains it like this: 

Options

-display disp

X11 server display to connect to, usually :0. The X server process must be running on same machine and support MIT-SHM. Equivalent to setting the DISPLAY environment variable to disp.

-auth file

Set the X authority file to be file, equivalent to setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable to file before startup. Same as -xauth file. See xsecurity(7) , xauth(1) man pages for more info.
