Type a title, meta description and URL to preview the search result on desktop and mobile and check the length of each. Google truncates by pixel width, not a fixed character count, and may rewrite titles and descriptions, so the numbers here are guides, not limits.
ShortTitle: 0 characters. Guide: 30 to 60.
ShortDescription: 0 characters. Guide: 70 to 160.

An approximation. Real results cut text by pixel width, and Google may show a different title or description.
Search results are laid out in pixels. A title made of narrow letters fits more characters than one made of wide letters or capitals, and mobile results wrap differently from desktop ones. A count of 30 to 60 characters for a title and 70 to 160 for a description keeps most text visible, but nothing breaks if you go past it.
Google also decides what to show. It can replace your title with a heading or other page text, and it often writes the snippet from the page content to match the search. The preview here shows what you asked for, not what Google will choose.
Google explains both in its guides to title links and snippets. To add rich result markup to the same page, use the schema markup generator and check it with the schema markup validator. To confirm crawlers can reach the page, try the robots.txt tester.
There is no fixed limit. Google cuts titles to fit the width of the result, so wide letters use up space faster than narrow ones. Keeping a title between about 30 and 60 characters is a common guide that usually shows in full on desktop.
Google sets no limit and shortens the snippet to fit the device. About 70 to 160 characters is a common guide. Put the most useful information first so it survives if the end is cut.
Google builds the title link from several sources, including the title tag, the main heading, other prominent text on the page and link text pointing to it. It may pick another source when the title tag is very long, stuffed with keywords, or repeated across many pages.
No. Google mostly builds the snippet from the page content and picks the text that best fits the search. It may use your meta description when that describes the page better than the on-page text does.
Google has said it does not use the meta description in ranking. A clear description can still affect whether people choose your result.
