The difference is a rhombus is made up of 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles and a square is made up of 4 right angles. On a square, both of the diagonals equal each other, but on a rhombus the diagonals can equal each other, but it's possible for them to not equal each other.

∙ 13y agoA rhombus is a tetragon (or quadrilateral, what ever you want to call it) has two sets of parallel lines, all which are the same length.
A square fits the above description, therefore, a square is a rhombus. For a two dimentional object to be square, it must fit the descriptions for the rhombus as well as have 4 right angles.
Another contributor conjectures:
In order to prove a given rhombus a square, I think
it's sufficient to show that it has one right angle.
The main difference is that a square is a geometric shape whereas a rhumbus is a word with no meaning.The main difference between a square and a rhombus is that all the angles of a square are equal. In a rhombus, there are two pairs of equal opposite angles.
All the sides of a rhombus are equal in length,as in a square.The sizes of the angles do not have to equal 90° as in a square.
A square must have 4 right angles, but a rhombus may or may not have 4 right angles.
well a parallelogram is like parallel lines when theynever meet up together just like a rhombus. A rhombus is just a square but they say it got hit by a bus, it also has obtuse angles.
A square has 4 sides that are all equal in measure. A diamond shape or rhombus also has 4 sides that are all equal in measure. The only difference between the square and the rhombus is that the square also has four equal, right angles, while the rhombus has two sets of different angles. But the sides are the same.
A square is well a square while a rhombus is a square on one of the corners (a square diamond)

A square is a rhombus that has a right angle in it.
One difference is that a square has right angles, but a rhombus only has acute and obtuse angles. A similarity is that if you tilt a square it turns into a rhombus. Another similarity is that they are both Quadrangles. Another difference is that Rhombus lines are slanted. Hoped that helped! ;0)
A rhombus is a two dimensional object, a rhomboid is 3 dimensional. The relation between the two is the same as that between a square and a cube.
A rhombus has 4 sides of equal length and may be crooked and a rectangle must have four 90 [[Q/Whats the difference between a rectangle and a rhombus#|degree]] angles. A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
A square has four right angles, a rhombus doesn't.
The main difference between a square and a rhombus is that a square has all its angles equal to 90 degrees and a rhombus does not. A square has 4 lines of symmetry while rhombus only has 2. The diagonal lengths of a square are of the same measure. Rhombus diagonal lengths are of different measures. They are both a quadrilateral, all sides are equal in length, and opposite sides are parallel to each other.
A rhombus has 4 sides of equal length and may be crooked and a rectangle must have four 90 degree angles. A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
A square is one special kind of rhombus ... the kind that has a right angle in it.
