Question

What is the weight of a snooker ball?

Answer 1

There doesn't appear to be a standard weight for a snooker ball only that all balls in a set must weigh within 3 grams of each other. Bear in mind you can get snooker sets with balls varying in size from 1 5/8 inches to the full size 2 1/16 inches. They also have to be of "approved construction". Short of taking a spring balance to your local snooker club that's as much as I can tell you, sorry.

Answer 2

6 lbs.

Answer 6

That depends on the gravitational field surrounding it.  In some circumstances, it would weigh the same as your brain.

Answer 7

Snooker balls are standardized at 52.5 mm (approximately 2-1/8 in.) in diameter within a tolerance of plus or minus 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) No standard weight is defined, but all balls in the set must be the same weight within a tolerance of 3 g.[3] However, many sets are actually 2-1/16 in. (about 52.4 mm), even from major manufacturers. Snooker sets are also available with considerably smaller-than-regulation balls (and even with ten instead of fifteen reds) for play on smaller tables (down to half-size), and are sanctioned for use in some amateur leagues.

Various other games have their own variants of billiard balls. Russian pyramid and the related Finnish game kaisa make use of a set of 15 numbered but otherwise all-white balls, and a red or yellow cue ball, that are about the size of carom billiards balls. Bumper pool requires four white and four red object balls, and two special balls, one red with a white spot and the other the opposite; all are usually 2-1/8 in. (approximately 52.5 mm) in diameter.

There is a growing market for specialty cue balls and even entire ball sets, featuring sports team logos, cartoon characters, animal pelt patterns, etc. Entrepreneurial inventors also supply a variety of novelty billiard games with unique rules and balls, some with playing card markings, others with stars and stripes, and yet others in sets of more than thirty balls in several suits. Marbled-looking and glittery materials are also popular for home tables. There are even blacklight sets for playing in near-dark. There are also practical joke cue and 8 balls, with off-center weights in them that makes their paths curve and wobble. Miniature sets in various sizes (2/3, 1/2, etc.) are also commonly available, primarily intended for children's under-sized toy tables.

Several brands of practice balls exist, which have systems of spots, stripes, differently-colored halves or targeting rings
