there are times when both could mean the same thing but:
she seems tired means that person looks tired.
she appeared tired would most likely mean that person appeared on camera or on set feeling tired.

@msmnz Ohh 😯 Thank you so much. I'll keep in mind the difference you mentioned.
by the way,
could you please tell me if it's possible to use "Appear + like"?
for example:
it appears like a party

@Alexis12Zeaa it’s more natural to say
“it appears to be” when you’re making an observation!
eg. “It appears to be a children’s birthday party”
