An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service, the internal website. The same concepts and technologies of the Internet such as clients and servers running on the Internet protocol suite are used to build an intranet. HTTP and other Internet protocols are commonly used as well, especially FTP and e-mail. There is often an attempt to use Internet technologies to provide new interfaces with corporate 'legacy' data and information systems.
Briefly, an intranet can be understood as "a private version of the Internet".
The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.
Contrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others

An intRAnet is a LOCAL version of a network that often uses web pages and browsers to convey information. Local means to stay at a single campus/location. The intERnet is a world-wide collection of computers that are all connected using protocols such as HTTP, FTP, GOPHER, and Mailto (for e-mail).

Intranet is a computer network within a corporation. It is a privately maintained computer network that can be accessed only by authorized persons, especially members or employees of the organization that owns it.

One deals with the outside world and the other with the inside (company) world. Inter = out; Intra = in!
