Yes. If you look up each of theirs Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species; you can tell how closely related they are. If you didn't know what those seven words are, they are the seven levels of classification.

No. The cheetah is not in the group called "Panthera", which are roaring big cats. This group is the tiger, lion, leopard and jaguar. Cheetahs form their own group, Acinonyx Jubatus.

No, they're two different species. Cheetahs are the fastest land animal. Hunts in daylight, by speed. Very slender build. Leopards are ambush hunters. Often nocturnal. Stockier build, good tree climbers.
No, a cheetah is faster than a leopard, but a leopard climbs better than a cheetah. The cheetah is the fastest land animal on Earth but a leopard is so strong that it can carry its prey (antelope, etc.) up a tree. Cheetahs have to eat their prey before other predators or scavengers come after it.

The cheetah is the fastest, running at speeds over about 70 mph for very long distances. The leopard can only reach speeds of 40 mph and can only maintain this speed for very short periods of time.

Leopards and cheetahs live in similar habitats and are both from the feline family, but they are not the same (neither are jaguars).
No
no cheetahs run faster and cheetahs have a line on their face to see better in the sun

No. Leopards and cheetahs are not the same. They do, however, look similar. Try not to get confused.

No, a tiger has stripes, and a cheetah has spots. They are equally vicious in the wild.
