In any of the variants of 10-pin Bowling (including Duckpins or candlepins), each pin is worth one point.
However, when you are scoring a strike (all pins down on first ball) or spare (all pins down on 2nd ball), the scoring is more complex.
For a spare, the score is 10 plus the number of pins knocked down on the first ball of the next frame (so, for example, a spare followed by a 7 count would be 17)
For a strike, the score is 10 plus the number of pins knocked down on the next two balls thrown (so, for example, a strike followed by a 7 count then a completed spare would be 10+7+3 = 20). The most points that could be scored in a frame would be a strike followed by a strike, followed by another strike, 10+10+10 = 30.
This gives us the maximum possible bowling score of 300 (10 frames, maximum of 30 pins in each).
If a strike or spare is thrown in the 10th and final frame, the bowler immediately throws one (in the case of a spare) or two (for a strike) bonus balls, called "extra frames". These frames do not score on their own, they only serve to determine the extra pins for the 10th frame's mark.

Bowling (10-pin)
The one closest to you is the head pin, or 1 pin. The rest of the pins are numbered from left to right on each row: the second row has the 2 and 3, third has 4, 5 and 6, and the fourth row has 7, 8, 9 and 10.
10 Pin Bowling
Essentially, 9-pin bowling is played with 9 pins instead of the standard 10 in regular bowling and the ball is smaller with fewer finger holes. A very small number of people play in the US as it's mostly popular in Europe.
In tenpin bowling from center of pin to center of pin, the distance must be 12 inches. This is to form an equilateral triangle on the pin deck. Each ray of the triage is 36 inches. Therefore the distance between the 1 & 7 pin, the distance between the 7 & 10 pin, and the distance between the 1 & 10 pin, should always equal 36 inches.
