What is the difference between clementine and tangerine

Clementine has a rounder shape and looks like a smaller orange.

If you touch the peel, you will notice that the peel of tangerines is softer and looser, and also comes off easier from the fruit.

A slight difference can also be seen in color - the peel of the tangerines is slightly brighter.

The clementines got the tight-fitting peel from the oranges. But the peel is brighter and the flesh is sweeter.
