Essentially, pool and snooker are derived from billiards. A billiard table contains no pockets and made with the purpose of hitting the target ball with the cue ball, hitting the rails around three times, and then hitting the second ball. Billiard tables normally measure around 9 to 10 feet in length. Its table surface is covered with wool.
On the other hand, pool tables have six pockets – four on each corner, and two on the middle part of the long side of the table. Usually, these are smaller than billiard tables – measuring at least six feet in length.
Lastly, snooker tables are larger than the two. On the contrary, these tables are lower in height and with smaller pockets. Snooker tables measure around 10 to 12 feet in length.
