The main difference is the amount of carbon. Anthracite is harder and contains more carbon. Bituminous coal is a sedimentary rock and anthracite coal is actually a metamorphic rock that has undergone tremendous pressures, usually from mountain building events.
The main types of coal are anthracite, bituminous, and lignite. Anthracite is the highest rank of coal and has high carbon content, making it the cleanest burning coal. Bituminous coal has a lower carbon content and is commonly used for electricity generation. Lignite is the lowest rank of coal, with the highest moisture content and lowest carbon content, making it less energy-dense than anthracite and bituminous coal.
One difference is their carbon content: peat and lignite have lower carbon content compared to bituminous and anthracite coal. Another difference is their formation process: peat is not fully coal yet, as it is the earliest stage of coal formation, while anthracite coal is the highest grade and the result of further coalification processes.
Anthracite is harder than bituminous coal. Anthracite has a higher carbon content and lower moisture content, making it a more dense and harder coal type.
Other names for coal include anthracite, bituminous coal, lignite, and thermal coal.
bituminous is less hard,and its dull.whereas anthracite is very hard.

No it is not but bituminous coal is
Anthracite.

yes, there are: Anthracite Bituminous sub-bituminous lignite
The protolith of schist is typically shale or slate, which undergoes metamorphism to form schist. The protolith of anthracite coal is primarily bituminous coal, which is subjected to higher temperature and pressure conditions during metamorphism to convert into anthracite coal.
