What is the difference between modifying the prototype of an object and adding a property directly to the object?

Modifying the prototype of an object affects all instances that inherit from that prototype. Adding a property directly to an object only affects that specific object and its own properties. Changes to a prototype can impact multiple instances, while changes to an object's own properties only affect that one instance.
