Ways to tell them apart:
- The key difference is their scope: the Internet is global, whereas an intranet is local to an organization.
- Remember that the INTRA in intranet stands for within like internal or within an organization's boundary.
- An intranet is like a private network for a company, while the Internet is the public network accessible from anywhere.
- Intranet often requires a login and is used for internal communication within an organization.
- Internet is used to access information worldwide and allows communication with millions across the globe.
