As from wikipedia:

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

In this sense, animation has a much more broad use than cartoon. Otherwise one could call the special effects in a movie a cartoon, which would not be entirely correct.

As from wikipedia:

Although the term can be applied to any animated presentation, it is most often used in reference to programs for children, featuring anthropomorphized animals, superheros, the adventures of child protagonists, and other related genres.
I think that there is a distinction. A cartoon can simply be a drawing (normally for entertainment). Animation is a process that is used to produce the appearance of movement. You can apply animation to Cartoons...

How hard is cartooning?

The word you're looking for is 'Animation'. Animation is using many pictures that look similar, and playing them at a certain speed to give the illusion of things moving. As for how hard, it depends. Usually animation is very time consuming, so if you don't have time, you don't have an animation. It also depends on what you're using. I highly suggest a computer program, not classical animation. Then it's all about your skill with the computer. I find 3D harder than 2D personally.
