Is There Any Difference Between Cacti and Succulents?

People who have no experience with plants, and especially with succulents, generally cannot recognize the  true difference between them and cacti. Most people might jusr say that the difference is obvious to everyone and that some have leaves and others thorns. And that is true, but does one exclude the other? If you think about it, some cacti even have flowers on their areolas, leaves, etc. Mixing these two terms is common. However, you will best understand their individual meaning if you understand how they are related. Most people see these terms as separate but quite related groups of plants.
