Answer:

The main differences between light and heavy industry are as follows: Light industry produces small-scale products, mainly for purchase by private individuals, while heavy industry tends towards large-scale enterprises. Light industry is small-scale, suitable for factories in industrial areas, while heavy industry involves large factories covering large areas of land. Light industry requires only a limited amount of capital investment, while heavy industry is capital intensive and requires large investments.
