I agree with cherry. "ora" e "adesso" don't differ much and could be interchargebale in many cases but only when "ora" is used as an adverb.
In fact "ora" is a noun too.
In this case the meaning is different:
ora
- Che ora è? or - Che ore sono?
What time is it ?
- Ho mangiato un ora fa.
I've eaten one hour ago

Adesso:
It doesn't differ much from the word "ora" and is almost interchangeable:
It could mean now (ora_) , just now (poco fa) or any moment now ( fra poco).
- adesso non posso, sto studiando
I can't do it now, I'm studying
- e me lo dici adesso?
now you tell me!
- da adesso in poi
from now on
- per adesso
for the moment, for now

Hello ,
Ora :
- 'ora' could mean 'adesso' (now) .In this case you use it as in the following examples:
ora sono molto occupata
I'm very busy at the moment
d'ora in avanti
from now on
It covers also a time line around the present like 'in a minute' or 'just now':
-it could mean "poco fa"
è uscito ora
he's just gone out
- It means also " tra poco" ,in a moment, in a minute ,presently:
ora arrivo
I'm just coming, I'll be right there
- si usa in un modo correlativo :
ora qui ora lì
now here now there

it's absolutely the same
