Answer:

Irony is when something opposite of what's expected happens. For example, a police station getting robbed is ironic. This is situational irony. Irony can also be verbal - when someone says something opposite from what they actually think. If someone says It's such nice weather today! while there is a storm going on outside, they are being ironic.

Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to mock people's mistakes and vices. It's often used to criticize public figures.
