Tangerines and oranges are both fruits that grow in trees. They’re also very similar in appearance, size, shape, color, and taste. The only difference between them is where they come from.

Tangerines have a thicker skin than oranges.

Tangerines are grown in subtropical climates, while oranges are grown in tropical climates. This means that tangerines are more likely to be found in warmer regions, such as Florida, California, and Hawaii. On the other hand, oranges are more common in cooler areas, such as New England, Canada, and Europe.
