A roof is on the outside of the house, but the ceiling in on the inside.
- Spanish (Mexico)
- English (US)
The ceiling is the part above your head inside, usually flat (horizontal); the roof is the part outside, often sloping. If you draw a picture with a square on the bottom for the living space and a triangle on top for the attic, the ceiling is the top line of the square, and the roof is the two upper slopes of the triangle. Or you can Google for images. :-)
