They are two different states of matter.
Oil is liquid
Coal is solid.
NB As an aside during the trade embargo on South Africa (during Apartheid era), no oil was allowed to be imported into South Africa.
However, South Africa had large reserves of coal. So South Africa developed SASOL. SASOL is the industrial conversion of coal to oil, so that oil burning furnaces could function.
NNB Both oil and coal are hydro-carbons.

What are the differences between oil and coal?
Oil is a liquid and Coal is a solid We use coal for energy and we use oil for our cars to lubricate cars,planes,and all kinds of machines so they can run better and so they don't overheat. We use oil to heat our homes.
Why is coal cheaper than oil?
Coal tends to be cheaper than oil because coal is more abundant and easier to extract from the earth. Additionally, coal production costs are generally lower than oil production costs. Supply and demand also play a role in determining the price difference between coal and oil.
What is the difference between coal and oil?
Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed from plant material that has been subjected to high pressure and temperature over millions of years. Oil, on the other hand, is a liquid fossil fuel formed from marine organisms that have been buried and transformed over time. Both coal and oil are used as sources of energy, but oil is typically more versatile and easier to transport than coal.
What is the difference between pet-coke and coal-coke?
Pet-coke, or petroleum coke, is a byproduct of the oil refining process, while coal-coke is a byproduct of coal carbonization. Pet-coke has a higher carbon content and lower impurities compared to coal-coke, making it a more efficient fuel source. Pet-coke is typically used in industrial processes, while coal-coke is mainly used in the steel industry.
Is there oil in coal?
Coal can be converted to oil . The South African's during the years of Apartheid, when they suffered a trade embargo on oil, developed the industrial process of converting coal to oil, viz. SASOL. South Africa has millions of tons of coal that can be mined.

What is the difference between a gallon and barrel of oil?
The difference between barrel and gallen is that a barrel can load 220 litre oil and a gallon can load millions of oil.
What is the difference between coal and oil and natural gas?
Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed from decayed plants, while oil is a liquid fossil fuel made from decayed marine organisms, and natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel formed in a similar way to oil but with different components. Each fuel has different energy densities, environmental impacts, and uses.
What is the difference between a petrol oil filter and diesel oil filter?
Difference is capacity and the fuel type.
