A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of things that can be clearly seen as separate. For example, oil droplets in water, peas in a bowl of soup,

Oil in water is also an example of an immiscible solution because the two fluids will not ever mix, you can try to mix oil+water if you shake them vigorously enough and they will then look homogeneous and cloudy for a few seconds, but then they separate again.

A homogeneous mixture is one in which the different components are so thoroughly mixed that they cannot be visibly distinguished. For example, proteins and water in a glass of milk, most acids in water, the air we breath, petrol, to name a few.

What is "visibly distinguishable" in a mixture depends on your point of view of course: at a fine enough magnification all mixtures will seem heterogeneous, and at a coarse enough resolution all mixtures will look homogeneous.
