a soliloquy is when the character makes a somewhat lengthy speech, talking to himself/herself.

an aside is when the character is trying to address and talk to the audience, usually revealing something about what's going on

An "aside" is usually just a sentence or two. A short break in the flow of the conversation or dialogue.

A "soliloquy" is a whole speech, where the rest of the action stop to allow for it.

IS THE PROLOGUE A SOLILOQUY OR AN aside romeo and Juliet?

It is not an aside, since there is nobody else on stage, behind whose back the words might be said. Nor is it properly speaking a soliloquy, since it is not delivered within the context of the play. The Prologue is not a character in the play who is delivering his perspective on what is going on, but an external observer giving an objective address to the audience. Compare the prologue of Romeo and Juliet with the similar Prologue in Henry V and contrast it with the soliloquy ( NOT a prologue) which starts Richard III. That soliloquy is given by Richard, one of the characters in the play, and it is given in character.
