How are homogeneous mixtures different from heterogeneous mixtures

A homogenous mixture is that mixture in which the components mix with each other and its composition is uniform throughout the solution. A heterogenous mixture is that mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout and different components are observed.

In Homogenous mixtures, the whole mixture is in the same phase whereas in Heterogeneous mixture, substances can be of two phases and layers may separate. ... Homogeneous mixture could be exemplified as a sugar solution or salt solution whereas Mixture of salt and sand could be used as an example of Heterogeneous mixture.
