Visible distinctions: exploring "apparent" vs "conspicuous"

What is similar?
Both "apparent" and "conspicuous" describe things that are easily noticed or perceived. They both refer to the quality of something being clear or obvious to the observer.
What is different?
"Apparent" often refers to something that seems to be true based on visible evidence, but may not be the whole truth or could be misleading. "Conspicuous", on the other hand, implies something that is easily seen or stands out in an obvious way, often due to being out of the ordinary or attracting attention.
