Propane is in a tank outside your house. Is used at 10" water column pressure through a smaller orifice than natural gas.
Natural gas is delivered by a pipe to your house through a meter (for billing purposes) is used at 3.5" water column through a larger orifice than propane.

Propane actually comes from the processing of crude oil when they make automobile gas. If you have ever seen an oil refinery? If you did, you saw pipes really high up that were burning. That is actually propane burning off. It is a liquid in its original state. Natural gas comes from under ground, it is not a liquid, but a clear, colorless, and odorless gas. When you smell natural gas in your house, that smell is added to the gas so you know when you have a leak, or a burner on the stove does not light up.

Propane is one of the parts that make up Natural Gas, Like Methane which is also is in Natural Gas. Propane is also known as H3 H8 scientifically. It is more refined and cleaner burning than NG as well!
