I'm confused on the distinction between these terms:
Can anyone briefly explain it?

ASP.NET Core 5.0 is based on . NET 5 but retains the name "Core" to avoid confusing it with ASP.NET MVC 5. Likewise, Entity Framework Core 5.0 retains the name "Core" to avoid confusing it with Entity Framework 5 and 6.
Net doesn't change the . Net Core architecture, but adds some additional benefits including Core Runtime & API Performance enhancement, and deployment flexibility. . Net 5 also supports some major sub-framework for desktop development like Entity Framework, GDI+, LINQ, and ADO.Net.
NET Core is a runtime. It can execute applications that are built for it. ASP.NET Core is a collection of libraries that form a Framework for building web applications.
ASP.NET 5 (now ASP.NET Core 1.0)Is the next generation of ASP.NET that provides a familiar and modern framework for web and cloud scenarios. It includes the next versions of ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Web Pages and SignalR.
Is the next generation of ASP.NET that provides a familiar and modern framework for web and cloud scenarios. It includes the next versions of ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Web Pages and SignalR. It is a high-performance and modular design, and supports full side by side to make it seamless to migrate from on premise to the cloud. These products are actively developed by the ASP.NET team in collaboration with a community of open source developers. Together we are dedicated to creating the best possible platform for web development.
Update: It has been renamed from ASP.NET 5 to ASP.Net Core 1.0.
.NET Core is the small optimized runtime that is the basis of ASP.NET Core. It currently runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac. It is a high-performance and modular design, and supports having several applications on a web server each one with its own copy of the .NET Core runtime, enabling a full side by side experience, and that will make it easy to adopt new .NET Core versions without affecting other apps, and this makes .NET Core architecture a leap forward from the current classic .NET 4.6. These products are actively developed by the .NET team and in collaboration with a community of open source developers. Together we are dedicated to improving and extending the .NET platform with new features and for new scenarios.
.NET Core has two major components. It includes a small runtime that is built from the same codebase as the .NET Framework CLR. The .NET Core runtime includes the same GC and JIT (RyuJIT), but doesn’t include features like Application Domains or Code Access Security. The runtime is delivered on NuGet, via the Microsoft.CoreCLR package.
.NET Core also includes the base class libraries. These libraries are largely the same code as the .NET Framework class libraries, but have been factored (removal of dependencies) to enable us to ship a smaller set of libraries. These libraries are shipped as System.* NuGet packages on NuGet.org.

ASP.NET 5 is a new platform based on DNX (.NET Execution Environment). DNX is on duty for loading CLR. There're two kind of DNX now: for Full .NET CLR (from .NET Framework) and for CoreCLR. CoreCLR is a new cross-platform light CLR (runs on Win/Linux/Mac).
ASP.NET 5 works seamlessly on CLR/CoreCLR as DNX abstracts it from runtime being used.
IL assemblies build for old .NET still be used with new CoreCLR and DNX. So ASP.NET 5 functionality is a bunch of nuget packages.
Strictly speaking there're no such things as "asp.net core 5" and ".net core" now (as CLR != .NET). There's "ASP.NET 5 running on CoreCLR".
IMO it's better to consider "ASP.NET 5" as ".NET 5".
