No, it is smaller, rounder, seedier, more tart, has a stronger aroma, and a thinner rind than that of the more common lime.
No, it's a special variety of lime. Check out what Wikipedia says about it at the link below:
key limes are smaller and sweeter
Key limes are completely different. They are native to the Florida keys but are now grown in other places as well. They are about the size of a golfball and a sweeter taste.
No, they are different in flavor. This site explains the differences:

Nope. Key limes are much smaller and have a distinctive taste and aroma, along with much more concentrated acidity than Persian limes (i.e. the typical large limes). Contrary to popular belief, they're not exclusive to the Florida Keys, although they're definitely an unusual tropical item. Apparently they're not grown in the continental United States very much because of the aggressive nature of the trees.
I find key limes only at certain times during the year at health food stores, but almost all the time I can find them at Mexican markets sold in 1-pound mesh bags.
It is one variety of a lime, and very different from "normal" limes. The key lime is very small and very tart. It tastes
a bit more like a lemon than a lime. It is also more yellow than a "normal" lime.
Yes
if you like key lime, try keke lime (not sure on the spelling) It is a thick green drink that comes in a white and lime label at the liquor store. it is good by itself or mixed with something. also it has the consistancy of tequilla rose and as always use ice in your drinks!!
