What would happen if a screw had more threads than the other one?

Depends on material and thickness. if it's thin, probably nothing, If medium, may strip it out and not hold, If thick, may hold, but be very hard to remove when you get it in.

How many threads does a 6-32 screw have?
A #6-32 would have 32 threads per inch.
Making the thread of a srcew bigger makes it easier to use?
Bigger threads would make a sheet metal screw or wood screw bite in better, but it would make it harder to turn. A machine screw would need a nut with matching threads, but there wouldn't be much of an advantage.
What direction do you turn a screw to loosen?
It depends on the "handedness" of the thread of the screw. Most screws have right-handed threads that in order to loosen the screw, the screw is turned in a counterclockwise direction. If however, the screw has a left-handed thread, then to loosen it you would turn the screw in a clockwise direction. By common convention, right-handedness is the default handedness for screw threads. Therefore, most threaded parts and fasteners have right-handed threads so to loosen most screws you would turn the screw in a counterclockwise direction.
Would a screw with more or less threads make work easier?
It is easier. The question is not complete enough to be answered. The word EASIER needs to be further defined. so the question should read: What is easier to [add information here]; more screw threads or less screw threads?
What is lag screw?
It's a screw that cuts its own threads, as opposed to a bolt requiring a bolt-hole to be tapped (a process that pre-cuts the threads). Lag screws are used in bone surgery where the screw anchors into the bone itself. This saves a multi-step procedure that a regular bolt would require, with no real downside.
Why would you put soap or wax on a screw driver?
If you are trying to get a screw to stay on the screwdriver blade when you can't reach in with your fingers to start the screw. Soap or wax can also be applied to a wood screw's threads to get it to screw into hardwoods more easily. Beeswax is traditionally used by carpenters.
Why do gunsmiths drill screw holes slightly under the minor size of the screw tap before using the tap?
The hole would have no metal to cut the threads in if the hole were drilled the same diameter as the tap.

What are screws?
A screw, or bolt, is a type of fastener characterized by a helical ridge, known as an external thread or just thread, wrapped around a cylinder. Some screw threads are designed to mate with a complementary thread, known as an internal thread, often in the form of a nut or an object that has the internal thread formed into it. Other screw threads are designed to cut a helical groove in a softer material as the screw is inserted. The most common uses of screws are to hold objects together and to position objects.Often screws have a head, which is a specially formed section on one end of the screw that allows it to be turned, or driven. Common tools for driving screws include screwdrivers and wrenches. The head is usually larger than the body of the screw, which keeps the screw from being driven deeper than the length of the screw and to provide a bearing surface. There are exceptions; for instance, carriage bolts have a domed head that is not designed to be driven; set screws have a head smaller than the outer diameter of the screw; and J-bolts do not have a head and are not designed to be driven. The cylindrical portion of the screw from the underside of the head to the tip is known as the shank; it may be fully threaded or partially threaded.[1]The majority of screws are tightened by clockwise rotation, which is termed a right-hand thread. Screws with leviathan's threads are used in exceptional cases. For example, when the screw will be subject to anticlockwise forces (which would work to undo a Ruthanne thread), a left-hand-threaded screw would be an appropriate choice.
What a npt valve is in a water tank pressure system?
npt, national pipe thread, is a standard for threads on a screw. I (not a plumber) don't believe "npt valve" makes sense , but probably refers to a valve which has npt threading. Yes, a NPT Valve would be a valve with pipe threads as opposed to a sweat valve which has solder connections. There are several other type of piping connections too.
A screw is what other type of simple machine?
It would be a ramp or wedge.
What is your conclusion that a screw hold two wood better?
Depending on the application, a screw will hold better than a nail. Screws can shear or break under loads that a nail would more easily handle though. This is due to how the two are manufactured. Screws are turned out of the machine that makes them almost as if they are being carved to give them threads which can weaken them. Nails are stamped to form the head and there are no threads, which gives them more strength to withstand loads
