No. They are totally different. Only similarity is that, they both belong to the cat family.

Actually, yes they are alike. Yes they both belong to the cat family, both have four legs, both have long teeth, both have tails, and both are carnivores. So yes they are similar.

No. Other than the fact both are members of the cat family, they are quite different species. Lions are much larger, only the tiger is heavier among cats. Cheetahs are swift coursers, fastest land animal that can reach 65 mph in short bursts.
