What is the difference between an orange and a tangerine?

Answer 1

A tangerine is smaller, less round, sweeter and contain less acid than an orange. They have virtually the same nutritional values (though obviously an orange has nearly twice as much as it's twice the size of a tangerine).
Tangerines are related to Mandarins, they are smaller than Oranges and the peel comes off easily. Oranges are larger, as well as more tart and sweet than tangerines.

Answer 2

Oranges are bigger than tangerines. Oranges contain more Vitamin C than tangerine. Tangerines are easier to peel than oranges. Orange skin has more volatile oil than that of tangerine. Some tangerines have more juice than equivalent weight of oranges.

Answer 3

Small, thin-skinned variety of the mandarin orange species (Citrus reticulata deliciosa) of the rue family (citrus family). Probably native to Southeast Asia, today it is cultivated in subtropical regions worldwide, especially southern Europe and the southern U.S. The tree is smaller than other orange trees, with slender twigs and lance-shaped leaves. The fruit is slightly flattened at each end and has a loose, reddish orange peel. Easily separated segments of tender, juicy, richly flavoured pulp are abundant in vitamin C. Oil from the fragrant skin is a characteristic ingredient in several flavourings and liqueurs.

Answer 4

A orange is bigger in size than a tangerine and is about half the price of a orange. A tangerine has more sweet and less acidic taste. Whereas the orange is very acidic and tart, it also contains a lot more juice than tangerines.
