"Public IP vs Private IP: Can Someone Explain the Key Differences?"

hey guys, kinda confused about public ip vs private ip. like, i know my router has one, and my phone has another... but what's the deal?

why do we even need both? can't everything just use a public ip? and does it *really* matter which one i’m using?

also, heard something about private ips being safer... but then how does my net even work if it’s "private"?

pls explain like i’m 5 lol. thx!

(ps: if this has been asked before, sorry! my search skills are trash.)
