Can viola play cello music notes?

The cello and viola are both string instruments, but they are different sizes and have different ranges. The cello is larger and lower than the viola, and it plays music written in the bass clef. The viola is smaller and higher than the cello, and it plays music written in the alto clef. While it is possible to play cello music notes on the viola, it would be difficult and would not sound the same as it would on the cello.
