What actually is the difference between a satsuma and a clementine?

Maybe there’s an obvious difference and I’m just ignorant in my fruit knowledge

One is a mandarin and one is a clementine.

If you're not a fruit expert they're basically the same thing.

@SW-User but how can they be so similar but be different fruits
Like they’re literally the same it makes no sense

@AndrewtheAlu I actually think clementines might just be a type of mandarin? So maybe they are the same? All this googling I'm doing is just making it more confusing.

@deadgerbil so the only actual difference is that they’re easier to peel? How do you even measure that 😂

They are much the same but the satsuma has a looser skin so is classed as an easy peeler
