Congruence: two figures have the same shape and size — one can be moved (translated/rotated/reflected) to exactly match the other.
Similarity: two figures have the same shape but possibly different sizes — corresponding angles equal and corresponding side lengths proportional.
Difference: congruence is similarity with scale factor 1 (same size vs. possibly scaled).
