Essentially the same, but not quite like it. It depends on the object used.

for example:

turn on/off = usually for appliances, electronic

like turn on/off the lights, computer, television, radio

the same goes for switch on/off

put on = (to) put on (something) = to wear something/clothes

for example:

put on your clothes, hat, shoes, pants, etc.

put out = it essentially means to extinguish

for example:

put out your cigarette, put out the flame, fire

I hope that helps
