To look and to see are similarly different as to listen and to hear.

To look is to direct one’s eyes to a particular thing and it is an act of will.
To see is to just make use of one’s eyes.

I can see the light, it’s dawn!

Similarly to listen is to direct your attention to something and also implies act of will.
To hear is just to make use of your ears.
