Best answer:

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]
The page I gave with English Billiards also has snooker information, you need to go to the title of ‘Snooker’ on the page:

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

More snooker rules can be found here:

Pool is usually played with 1 white ball and 15 coloured and numbered balls. There are a few varities to snooker, including 8-ball, 9-ball, etc.

How do one differentiate among Pool, Billiards and Snooker?

Best answer:

Answer by rashell_kitts
Pool and billiards pretty much the same thing… Snooker is a game of strategy u get points for certain balls that u make. Pool (Billiards) has several different games that falls under that category such as 8 ball, 9 ball, straight pool, banks. Snooker is played on a special table that is 10′ in length instead of a 8′ or 9′ pool table.

regardless of potting, if he touches with his cue the:
red/yellow/green/brown = ball 4point foul
blue = 5point foul
pink = 6point foul
black = 7point foul

also the ball potted will not count. (player wont get the point)
