Short answer
A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect telling browsers and search engines that a page has moved for now and the original URL should remain indexed. It suits short-term situations such as maintenance, testing or seasonal promotions. Using a 302 for a permanent move can delay search engines from consolidating signals to the new URL.
