Yes, no and maybe could all be correct answers. You do not disclose your age and location, so, no way to answer.
It all depends on the country where you live. In the USA no license is needed in most states. It's best to check with local law enforcement to find out the law in your area.
Both are powered by Air or CO2. But a bb gun fires a bb. (.177 caliber) BB guns and Rifles traditionally have smooth bore barrels. Air Rifles (I assume you are asking about Pellet firing air rifles) fire .177 pellets usually through a "rifled bore barrel" giving the pellet more spin and causing it to travel straighter. Pellet Air Rifles come in .177 cal, but also come in 20, 22, 25, 45 and 50 Caliber pellets. They tend to be more powerful than the bb rifles. Crosman, Daisy Beeman and RWS are just a few of the air gun makers who make bb guns and Pellet Air Rifles.
Only if the gun is designed for BB's. Some air rifles are designed to shoot either. Usually they are the multy pump design like the Crosman 760 or the Daisy 880, but air rifles will say right on the barrel that they are designed for .177 cal pellets or .22 caliber pellets and these rifles or guns should not use BB's. BB's will damage the rifling in the barrel.
No, They were invented long before him. He invented the first Model Daisy BB Rifle, but BB rifles where around before that. Lewis and Clark carried an air rifle with them and the Austrian army had air rifles in the 1500's
Yes you do. Also a recent law requires all owners of PCP air rifles to register them. ( High powered air rifles.) See the link below.
Air rifles use compressed air or C02 to propel the BB or pellet. They do not use gunpowder. Their is no bullet shell and bullet just the BB or pellet.

No.
There are air rifles and there are air guns. These are guns that use air or C02 to fire a BB or Pellet, not gunpowder. A DAISY RED RYDER BB Rifle would be considered an "air rifle." There are several companies that make air guns and air rifles. Gamo, Daisy, Crosman, and Umarex are a few of these companies.
By federal law, no.
Yes you do.
Actually a BB gun is an air gun. But an air gun also includes pellet guns and rifles. BB guns are the bottom end of the air gun family. Pellet guns are more accurate than BB guns and they usually cost more.
