Similarities: They are both subatomic particles of an atom. They both carry an electrical charge.
Differences: Protons are positively charged and reside within the nucleus. They have more mass than electrons.
Electrons are negatively charged and orbit around the nucleus.

both are subatomic particles. both are charged (although opposite charges) a change number of electrons makes an ion and a change in the number of protons makes a different atom.

protons and electrons each are a measure of the "charge" of an atom. protons are positive, electrons negative.

It's been a long time---but aren't they both in the nucleus? Don't they both have an electrical charge? That's about all I can think of.

they are both in an atom. they are both to small to see with your eyes. but they have different charges.
