Normal lookup: lookup at memory that means when you design a job, The reference data is stored in the memory. Then primary data is going to compare with reference data in the memory.
In the primary link it shows how many rows are there on the primary source as well as in the reference link also it shows the rows details.

If primary link rows count = primary rows
And reference link rows details = reference file count then it is Normal lookup
Sparse Lookup: Lookup at source that means the reference data is going to store in primary link.
If primary link rows count = primary rows
And reference link rows details = primary rows then it is Sparse lookup
