They are generally synonymous, "nude" comes from Latin and "naked" comes from Germanic.
They are generally interchangeable but for more official functions you would see "nude", e.g. a nude beach (not "a naked beach), public nudity (not "public nakedness")

Nude = no clothes
Naked = unprotected/ no clothes ( no one really uses "nude" for no clothes, they use naked)
