Similies are describing something to something else (e.g... the weather was as hot as a over heated microwave. )

Metaphors are sentences that are described with impossible stuff (e.g... we have walked for years, and yet we arent here.)

While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”
