The simple answer is in the way these two cheese are produced. As cheese is made by adding rennet to milk to separates the curds from the whey, then the curds are turned into cheese. The way you treat the curds makes the cheese unique and different. Both cheddar and mozzarella cheese are cut and recooked a second time but mozzarella's curds are pressed, pulled and stretched to create it texture and is meant to be served fresh, not aged. Cheddar or cheddaring is the process of draining, stacking, and pressing the curds to achieve its unique flavor. It is name for a village in Somerset England where it was first produced. It is often aged or smoked and is most often off white or yellow, it may also appear orange do to the addition of annatto for its coloring and flavor traits. Basically cheddar is a crumbly cheese and mozzarella is a stringy cheese. But they are not regulated so they can be extremely different depending on who produces them.

There are lots of differences between Mozzarella and Cheddar.
Mozzarella is soft, curd cheese that is made from cow’s or water buffalo’s milk. It has a high fat content (~45%) and isn’t aged.
In contrast, Cheddar cheese is a hard, aged cheese that is much lower in fat content (usually around 9–10%).
There are lots of other differences in how these cheeses are made, but those are the headlines.
The sad thing is how the cheese business has evolved. So many cheeses are now made of fake ingredients.

Originally Answered: What is the difference between Mozzarella cheese and Cheddar Cheese?
Mozzarella cheese is fresh cheese that has just been made from curdling milk and separating the curd from the whey. The cheese curds are then pressed, pulled and stretched with saltwater to produce a fresh, delicious mozzarella. Cheddar cheese (along with many other types of cheese) is cheese that has been aged. Depending on the aging process, the cheese gains certain flavors and takes on certain properties once it has been treated and allowed to sit. Some cheeses simply sit in the open air and are allowed to mold on the outside. Others are bandaged with wax or gauze so that the aging process is a little more controlled. Some are made with goats milk, some with cows milk... If you're interested in making your own cheese, you can find the simple process for making mozzarella with a quick google search. The same can be said about other types of cheese like Brie and Colby Jack.
