Answer

Hi,

Away means to be a distance from something; apart means to be separate from something.

So "he was sitting apart from the others" makes sense as in he was sitting a distance away from the others.

Hope this helps,

Paul

Answer

Hi, Paul. The words kinda have the same meaning. But "apart" can be more physical than "away".  And your phrase makes sense.
