  Billiard ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the UK and Europe, Billiard balls are the three balls used to play the games, known variously as English billiards or Carambole billiards (of which Three cushion billiards is a variant) but generally just "billiards" within respective countries.
In the past, many balls were made of ivory; since the animals that produced this have become endangered species, other materials, such as wood and various plastics have been used.
On average, the balls are 2.25" in diameter and all balls weigh 5.5 oz.

 Billiards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Billiards is a family of games played on a table, with a stick, known as a cue stick, which is used to strike balls, moving them around the table.
Balls 9-15 are white, each with a single wide colored stripe that matches the corresponding solid ball; the 9-ball has a yellow stripe, the 10-ball a blue stripe, and so on.
All authoritative rule sources deem it illegal to "scoop" under the cue ball with the tip of the cue to fling it into the air (technically because it is illegal to contact the cue ball with the ferrule of the cue, and because the cue ball is struck twice, both of which are classic fouls).

Balls should be cleaned with a towel or cloth free of dirt and dust, and may also be washed with soap and water.
The wooden triangular ball rack is the recommended device to be used to rack the balls to ensure that the balls are properly aligned and in contact with each other.
The mechanical bridge, also called rake, crutch or rest, is an accessory of the billiard sports table and consists of a stick with a bridge head mounted at its end to support the shaft of the cue stick replacing the hand bridge during shots difficult to reach.

 Documentation on Billiards Game
In mathematical billiards, we have one ball on a table that moves with constant speed forever.
The rules of motion are as follows: a ball will move in a straight line until it hits the wall of the table.
As the ball continues to bounce off the walls, it may move in a regular, predictable fashion, or it may move in an irregular, chaotic fashion.
