What is the difference between PGP keys, SSH keys, and SSL keys?

I know that they all use asymmetric encryption, but I don’t understand their differences and applications. Any guidance is much appreciated!

The only difference is the types of programs they’re used for (PGP usually for email or encrypted messages, SSH usually for securing remote connection to computers, SSL usually for running a website or anything else done over SSL), but besides that they’re the same keys just wrapped in a different container.
