What types of hemorrhoids are there?

When I am looking up hemorrhoids to find out more information on them I am seeing things like "internal hemorrhoids" and "external hemorrhoids."  I didn't even know there were different types :(  Can someone explain to me the difference?  I thought there was really only one kind.

What's the difference though?  Are the symptoms the same for them both?  Would I be able to see the external ones?

Internal Hemorrhoids and
External Hemorrhoids

Hope this helps!
