# Shapely Touches

>  It checks whether there is any boundary contact between two geometries. This determines whether the edges of the geometries touch each other. 

<Note>
  Geometrically, **Intersecting** and **Touching** are different.

  To be more precise:

  If the boundaries of the geometries overlap, the two geometries are said to **Touch** each other;
  If the boundaries of the geometries penetrate each other, the two geometries are said to **Intersect** each other.
</Note>
