They are slightly different things, but both are edible, and probably have a similar (but different) flavour.

Can you substitute orange juice for orange zest?

Orange zest refers to the grated peel of an orange, whereas the
juice of the orange is taken from the liquid in the orange's inner
flesh. Replacing zest with juice in a recipe may water the recipe
down and cause undesirable changes in flavor and consistency. A
better substitution may be the zest of another citrus, or a small
amount of orange extract.

Can orange peel be used interchangeably with orange zest?

Orange zest is made from orange peel. When you grate the rind of
the orange, do not grate all the way to the white, you just want to
grate the orange surface. Voila!! You have fresh orange zest. The
zest of an orange is the very outter layer of the orange
peel...just the orange part, not the white part. The easiest way to
remove the zest without getting the bitter white part is to use an
orange zester or a micro rasp (looks similar to a wood file). If
you don't have an orange zester you can use the smallest holes on a
box grater or cut the zest off with a paring knife. If using a
paring knife, chop the peel as small as possible...now you have
orange zest.
