cider = fresh pressed apple juice, no preservatives; it spoils or
ferments rather quickly, often cloudy

apple juice = juice that has been filtered, pasteurized or has
preservatives added; some are even diluted with water

hard cider = alcoholic cider, sales are controlled as other alcoholic
products

The flavor of cider is usually better if it contains a variety of apples
and it is sweeter if pressed after a frost or a series of cold nights.
