For example: Comparing a night in a four-star hotel with a night in a one-star hotel is like comparing apples to oranges. One is a luxury hotel and the other is a budget hotel.

A related expression is "compare apples to apples" which means to compare two things of the same type. This means that you are making a valid comparison, as opposed to when you're comparing apples to oranges.
