Answer by JRome
found a definition of billiards from Encyclopaedia Britannica,
“any of various games played on a rectangular table with a designated number of small balls and a long stick called a cue. The table and the cushioned rail bordering the table are topped with a feltlike tight-fitting cloth. Carom, or French, billiards is played with three balls on a table that has no pockets. The other principal games are played on tables that have six pockets, …” [1]
English Billiards is played with only 3 balls. 2 whites and 1 red ball.
You can find some information at the following link, look down the page for the title ‘English Billiards”. It also provides some information on snooker.

http://www.tradgames.org.uk/games/Billia…

The rules of billiards can be found here

http://infohost.nmt.edu/~billiard/house_…

Just in case you do not know what a ‘cue’ ball is. It is the ball you have to hit with your stick or cue.
Snooker has 1 white ball, 15 red balls, and 6 coloured balls. The 6 colours being Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink, and Black.
The white ball is the ‘cue’ ball.
The red balls are worth 1 point.
The coloured balls are worth Yellow – 2 points., Green – 3 points, Brown – 4 points, Blue – 5 points, Pink – 6 points, Black – 7 points. [2]

Best answer:

Answer by trickshottim.com
Billiards: Pocketless table (5 x 10 ft), generally played with 3 balls. Different games include 3-cushion, 5 pin, or straight rail, although there are other options. The balls are slightly bigger than pool or snooker balls.

Pool: Six pockets on a table (4.5 x 9 ft). Popular games include 8 ball, 9 ball, 10 ball, one pocket, and straight pool. The balls are numbered 1-15 and the games take advantage of them in various ways.

Snooker: Big table with six pockets (6 x 12 ft). Pocket openings have rounded corners so you have to be more exact with shots. Snooker balls are a little smaller. There are 15 red balls, and 6 colored balls plus the cue ball.
