Angular
Angular is an open source JavaScript framework developed initially by Google that supercharges HTML with additional tags to create powerful single page applications. As stated in the official web page it is:
More technically, it is a flavor of an MVC framework useful when designing front-end web applications (and even hybrid mobile applications if you use in conjunction with the ionic framework).
Node
On the other hand, node is a platform built on top of Google's V8 JavaScript engine (what powers chrome for instance). It was designed to build scalable network applications with high emphasize on speed and data-intensive usage. As stated in the nodejs website:
Since then inception of the project in 2009, node gained large adoption for building the server side of many web applications. It is also used for managing JavaScript packages using the npm tool (a package manager for node modules).
Conclusion
Angular and node are different tools. Nevertheless, they (partially) use JavaScript syntax. Moreover, both can be combined to create isomorphic applications, i.e. applications that are build with the same language on the back and front-ends. If you go a little further and use MongoDB as your data store, you can build your entire infrastructure using JavaScript flavored tools. The MEAN stack is build on this observation.
This is a huge gain for developers since they can focus on learning only one language and be full-stack developers.
