Difference between ‘Passant’ and ‘Fußgänger’

I am studying the difference between Passant and Fußgänger.

I have two hypotheses:

  1. Fußgänger is a person who is walking on foot. Both Passant and Fußgänger can be used to refer to a person walking on a sidewalk.

  2. Fußgänger is a person who is walking on foot. Passant can be used to refer to a person walking on a sidewalk.

(I was told these two ideas by two different natives, so I am pretty confused now)

What is the difference between then?
