Ms: /miz/
Miss: /mis/

Meaning:
Miss is used for single women, usually quite young of age. Think of "Miss America", "Miss World".
Ms is used to address women politely, e.g. at the start of a letter. It is both used for single and married women, which is why it is often prefered to Miss or Mrs (/misiz/, only us
