What is the difference between Billiards and Snookers???

Hi Madhavee. Though it might be too late, let me answer the question. Snooker is a kind of billiards game. In Billiards in general there are three basic type: carom billiards, pocket billiards, and snooker. Snooker was explained by the first who replied to your question. Good day!

Billiards and Snooker are played upon a Billiards table and uses the same cues and standard equipment. Billiards is played with one red ball and two white cue balls, one with a small black spot and one without. Snooker is played upon a Billiards table and uses the same cues and standard equipment. Different balls are used, though - one white cue ball is used by both players together with 15 red balls worth 1 point each and 6 coloured balls worth differing points viz: * Yellow - 2 points - initially placed on the right corner of the D as looked at from baulk. * Green - 3 points - initially placed on the left corner of the D as looked at from baulk. * Brown - 4 points - initially placed on the middle of the baulk line directly between the yellow and green balls. * Blue - 5 points - initially placed slap bang in the middle of the table. * Pink - 6 points - initially placed on a spot midway between the blue ball and the end cushion. * Black - 7 points - initially placed on the spot used for the red ball in Billiards - twelve and three-quarter inches from the middle of the end cushion. The fifteen red balls are set in a triangle (using a special triangular frame) between the pink and the black balls so that the triangle points towards baulk with the red at the tip touching the pink ball.
