The IP addresses that can be used over internet are called public IP addresses. Private IP addresses are IP addresses used on private intranets that are isolated from the Internet e.g. LANs.

The Public IP that can be used over private networks have a specific range. The IANA reserved private IPv4 network range is:

Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

Class B: 172.16.0.0. to 172.31.255.255

Class C: 192.168.0.0. to 192.168.255.255

A public IP address is an address assigned by your internet service provider. The public address is used so you can be reached from the outside world. others can send message to your public ip address.

a private IP address is the IP address your computer has on your home network or company's network, behind the router (NAT). From outside, this address is not known and can not be reached. This address is used only on the Local Area Network.

Home networks are the networks you use at home. They're usually locked so only you and anyone you give the key to can use the wifi. Public networks are unlocked and provided usually by businesses for use of the people there.

A public network is one that is not locked and can be accessed by different people. A private network is usually locked and can only be accessed by the owner.
