Are legal age and age of consent the same If not what are the differences?

Age of consent has to do with being able to consent to sexual activity. It is often lower than the age of adult hood or 'legal age.' Much of the world sets it at 16, but it could be as old as 21. Legal age is that at which one is considered an adult for the purposes of conducting business. It is normally 18, but can be as old as 21 depending on the state or country.
