public ip-addresses are used in the internet (they are registered addresses). private ip-addresses are used in local networks.

imagine you have a computer in your local network that has a public ip-address and your PC has simultaneously an Internet connection:

if you try to ping this pc you wouldn't be able to tell which computer is replying, the local one or the webserver.
