Ideal means it is a great thing. It is perfect for you. Like it is an ideal time to get off the computer. Or it is an ideal time to cook, etc.
Idle means standing still. The engine is idle means that it is just started but not moving. This is the best way I can explain it.

Idle means to be at rest, not working. Ideal means to be just right or in a state of perfection.. Ideal is pronounced differently fro idle. Ideal = i del' and idle = id' el.

Ideal is a concept,or standard of excellence. Idle means dormant, not working, or doing anything.

"Ideal" means "the perfect version of something" -- an ideal vacation, an ideal opportunity, and so on.
"Idle" means "sitting around, doing nothing" -- like the expression, "Idle hands are the devil's plaything".

Ideally people would know to look up words and not be idle in their quest for knowledge.

they are not similar at all. but wish you had used a sentence with each............... idle=not doing anything--no action
ideal=a conception of something in its perfection
if you have a google task bar you can put a dictionary on it.

ideal: something that is considered as perfect, normally it relates to values and goals.
idle refers to a lack of motion and/or energy.
