A rhombus has four sides of equal length, and opposite angles are equal.
A rhombus with right angles is a square.
A rhombus without right angles is ...a rhombus!
# So the shape of a rhombus can be square. Some kites are square. # or a rhombus can be 'diamond' shaped, like the diamond on a suite of playing cards. Some kites are diamond shaped.
But some kites are shaped like a box (a box kite, for example!), and some kites are shaped like dragons! A rhombus does not look like a box, nor like a dragon!

A kite has two pairs of sides with the same length, where each pair is connected by a corner. For example, a quadrilateral with sides 4-4-5-5 would be a kite. A rhombus is a special kind of kite, with all sides equal. And a square is a special kind of rhombus with four right angles. So every square is a kite, but not every kite is a square.
