The principle of proximity states that things that are close together appear to be more related than things that are spaced farther apart.
Alignment
Alignment helps ensure consistency and cohesion in the visual design. An example of this can be seen in the alignment of the tabs below.

The principle of similarity states that when things appear to be similar to each other, we group them together. And we also tend to think they have the same function. An example of this can in Apple’s website which uses the principle of similarity in its products listings.
