My teacher says that mood and tone are not the same thing, but I have trouble establishing a difference between the two. How can I tell them apart?

Please re-post if the difference is not clear. It's obvious they're closely related, but not exactly the same thing.

What does tone and mood mean?
Hi. I think that tone is a way of narrating a story. It can be "highly detailed" for example.
But Mood is a feeling that the reader creates towards us. It may be fascinating, interesting etc...

Mood is the feeling YOU get while reading. Tone is the way the AUTHOR feels about something.
Tone is the way an author or the narrator feel while writing or narrarating a poem or story. The mood is how you, the audience, feels

The mood is the way the story makes the reader feel. usually, depending on the tone of the writing, it will affect the mood, but not always. If the tone is ironic and understated the mood might be heavy and gloomy.
Tone is a way of naratting a story.
Tone is the word used to describe the author’s opinion about the story, character or events. Tone can be found in fiction and non-fiction by looking at the way the author describes things and what words they choose.
