A hyperbole is a figure of speech exaggerates statements and is not generally taken literally.

For example, "I have a million things to do." or "I could eat a cow."

A simile is also a figure of speech that compares two things using "like" or "as."

For example, "He runs like a cheetah."

Similes compare one thing to another, using either the word "like" or the word "as".

Example: "She was as sweet as pie."

Hyperboles are exaggerations.

Example: "The man was as tall as a two-story building."
