Protocol vs Interface vs Service

I have been confused by these terms for quite some time, particularly between Protocol and Interface. From what I have understood, A protocol is how the layer communicates with a corresponding layer (OSI Model) and provides a service to the layer above it and the medium through which it does so, is by the interface. So does that mean that the protocol contains services and interfaces?

​

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank You!

I put in effort this time. Sorry for not doing so the last time!

Cheers!
