Completely different Nicholas as Shagufta has indicated."your" meaning "of you/belonging to you" and "you are"  describing "you" or some "characteristic" of you.

Both have different meanings. 'your' is a possessive pronoun whereas in 'you are' , you' is used as personal pronoun and it could be in subjective as well as objective case with 'are' as helpining verb or copula/linking verb. 

In spoken enlglish both could have the same sound when you are used in contraction e.c

your = yor      Is it yor pen?    you

you're = yor   Yor nice     you are
