Something is homogeneous if it is the same from one location to the next and heterogeneous of the properties change with position in the substance.

A homogeneous mixture is any mixture that shows no separation of components. It is uniform in chemical composition with no physical separation of components.

For example, water and sugar will mix with each other. We say sugar dissolves in water.

Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures that result from combining things which do not entirely mix. Oil and water do not mix completely and even if the mixture is agitated strongly, the two components will separate.

With oil and water, the separation is rapid and obvious. For many other materials, such as emulsions, the separation is not always rapid and not even necessarily visible. Latex paint is an example.

What is a homogenous mixture and how is it different from a heterogeneous mixture?

A homogeneous mixture is one in which the components are uniformly distributed, so that it is the same throughout. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is one in which the components are easily distinguishable and are not uniformly distributed. Granite is an example of a heterogeneous mixture.
