I'd like to know the meaning of "apparently"

I have Known  "apparently" have a same meaning with"clearly,definitely,obviously"
so, I found "apparently and obviously" in the Eng-Eng dictionary like the below.

You use apparently to indicate that the information you are giving is something that you have heard, but you are not certain that it is true. 

 You use obviously to indicate that something is easily noticed, seen, or recognized.

but, They means different by the above.right?
so, Please show me.

---------------------The lines go:
-Sir, can l see you in the hall for a moment?
-Let me just say a couple more things.
- What's going on?
- What's happening?

- Apparently, that man is not Ned Schneebly.
- What?
- What?
- This man is Ned Schneebly.
- He's not even a teacher.
------------------------------------------------------

One more things
Could you please correct my sentenses for the better English-composition?
