A Billiard is referred to as a dynamical arrangement where a particle (ball) alternates between motion in a straight line and speculate within a boundary and the speed of the particle does not loss its pace when it reflects back after hitting the boundary.
When you use the edge of a cue ball to hit another ball, the cue ball moves along the tangent line and hits the nine balls. This indicates that you have executed a billiard.
Few days before, I had participated in a BCA Pool League match. I had few solid balls and my opponent had stripes, which was to the pocket edge. I hit the edge of my solid ball slightly and the cue ball traveled into the stripe and it had gone to the pocket and stopped after my solid ball.
Then I made it on his stripe and executed a safety in that shot. The opponent missed to hit one of the stripes when his chance had come. I won the game. This was possible only because of the safety shot.
