LoginRise vs. Raise
Well, I think even native speakers have had problems using these two, don't you think? Well, anyhow, I can teach everything about them to you.
What Is Their Main Difference?
Both words are verbs. They both refer to moving up and being increased. However, 'rise' is intransitive and goes under the category of irregular verbs. 'Raise' needs an object so it is a transitive verb. Also, note that it is a regular verb.
Differences
As mentioned above, 'rise' is an intransitive verb; this means that it needs no direct objects. Another important point about it is that it goes under the title of 'irregular verbs' because its past forms are 'rose', and 'risen'. Look at the examples below:
The broom
The sun has
'Raise', on the other hand, is a transitive verb that means that it needs a direct object. Also, it goes under the category of 'regular verbs' because its past forms are 'raised'. Check out the examples below:

So, I decided to
Similarities
As mentioned above, both refer to physically moving something upwards or increasing something. Look at the examples below:
