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.

A 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.
All 4 sides of a rhombus must be equal, otherwise it's not a rhombus.
