What are the difference among the pool, snooker and billiard?

Question

Please also desribe all the fundamental rules to play pool, snooker and billiard.

Answer 1

Pool and billiard are the same, it has 9 feet table and a bigger ball. There was 7 feet pool/billiard table, but now it doesn't use in match.

Snooker is 11-feet table and it has a smaller hole and balls than pool.

Answer 2

Pool tables are smaller in size and have bigger pockets. Pool only has red or yellow balls with one black ball - snooker has 15 red, and 1 yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black ball.

The cues used are different too: pool cues are heavier, thicker and have bigger tips.

The rules are also (obbviously different) - most notably: you are allowed to 'jump' balls in pool when you arent allowed in snooker; pool you get two shots for a foul - while in snooker you get 1 plus penalty points (or the opportunity to make the opponent retake the shot); pool you try and pot the same colour balls before potting the black - whilst in snooker you must pot a red and then a colour and then pot the colours in sequence.
