What is the difference between pine and juniper?

Unlike most evergreens, which produce needle-like foliage, junipers and arborvitae have tiny, overlapping leaves that resemble scales. Junipers may also present small, very sharp needles in addition to their scale-like foliage. Pines, on the other hand, develop the needle-like foliage of the typical evergreen.
