You hit a Ball With a Raquet so they just called it raquet ball...
The balls are very small and come in varying speeds.
It is a volleyball game played inside a racquetball court.
It all depends on which side you are measuring, the inside or the outside. The inside is shorter than the out because of the thickness of the balls covering. According to Wikipedia a tennis ball is 2.63 in. in diameter. The diameter on the inside will be a little closer to 2.50 in. The thickness of the balls covering is measured millimeters, and I don't know what that would be.
Racquetballs are typically filled with air or a mixture of gases, such as nitrogen. This helps provide the ball with the proper bounce and playability for racquetball games.
The rule is: The person who is struck by the ball gets to cry without being made fun of.
When serving, this is called a "drive serve."
A racquetball will bounce higher. A racquetball is required to be able to bounce 68 to 72 inches from a 100 inch drop at an outside temperature of 70 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit. A tennis ball will only rebound 46 to 52 inches but the USTA doesn't give a drop or temperature requirement.
The width of a ball is its diameter, so the diameter of a ball that is 24 cm wide is 24 cm.
The diameter of a standard tennis ball is approximately 6.7 cm.
