A centipede has two legs per segment, one on each side. And they usually stick out to the side of the centipede. A milipede has 4 legs per segment, two on each side, and they are usually more under the body of the milipede.
A millipede has more legs.Milli is for thousands centi is for hundreds.The centipede,despite what its name indicates,actually doesn't have a hundred legs.It has two legs per body segiment so its always under or over the hundred legs mark.
This is called a centipede (having 100 legs) although it does not have 100.
Centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment, so the number of muscles in a centipede varies depending on the species and the number of body segments they have. On average, a centipede can have hundreds of muscles.
Some do, but most don't. The number of legs can range from 20 to more than 100.
Millipedes have two pairs of legs per body section, which means they have four legs on each segment of their body. This distinguishes them from centipedes, which have only one pair of legs per body segment.
The number of legs a centipede has depends on the number of body segments it has. Centipedes usually have one pair of legs per segment.

Centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment, millipedes have 2 pair per segment.

No. They don't have exactly 100 legs. It depends on the species; centipedes can have up to 15 pairs of legs to a 180. Because they're called 'centipedes' doesn't mean that they have to have 100 legs. It's the same with millipedes, they can have up to 200 pairs.
Centipedes have one set of legs per body segment and millipedes have two sets per segment. Millipede means "thousands of feet". Has two pairs or four legs on most body segments. Centipede means "hundreds of feet". Has one pair or two legs on each body segment. Although neither has anywhere near "hundreds of feet" the centipede generally has fewer legs than a millipede. Millipedes are non-toxic, but centipedes do contain some venom that can cause irritation.
Centipedes typically have a varying number of legs, usually ranging from 30 to 354, depending on the species. They are characterized by having one pair of legs per body segment. Each centipede has an odd number of pairs of legs, which means they always have an odd total number of legs.
Millipedes have two pairs of legs per body section, which means they have four legs on each segment of their body. This distinguishes them from centipedes, which have only one pair of legs per body segment.
A creature with twenty legs could refer to a species of millipede or centipede, as both have numerous legs. Millipedes typically have two pairs of legs per body segment, resulting in a high leg count, while centipedes have one pair of legs per segment. However, specific species may vary, and some may have around twenty legs depending on their developmental stage.
