Let's compare the differences then. Right off, you can see the apple is a different color from the orange. The orange has citric acid, the apple has pectin. You have to peel the skin off the one before you can eat it, the other can be eaten with the skin on. The apple is juicy, but the orange is a lot juicier. It is divided into pulpy segments, while the apple has a continuous smooth inside. The insides of each differ in another way, too. In color, one being white with dark seeds, the other orange with white seeds. They also come to us at different seasons. One growing in a sub-tropical zone, the other in a temperate one. There are a lot of differences to lend validation to that opening statement.

On the other hand, I can see a lot of similarities in these two fruits. One similarity is that they are both a fruit. The most obvious likeness is that they are both rounded. They both have an outside skin, and both have seeds situated in the center of their spheres. You can buy them either by the pound or in a red mesh bag. They grow on trees and they both lay claim to medical fame. Oranges with their vitamin C are supposed to help ward off colds. Apples, if taken one a day, keep the doctor away. They are a low-calorie, nutritious snack. And they are both a popular food in constant demand by the public.
