Want this question answered?
Most classical guitar strings are made from a sort of nylon material. Some expensive types of 6 or 12 string guitars used for Mexican music use steel strings.
Nylon strings are lower tension in comparison to steel strings and have a warmer tone than steel string, thus making steel strings higher tension than nylon with a brighter tone than nylon strings.
Nylon strings give a brighter, crisper sound than steel strings, and they don't tear one's fingernails up as bad as steel strings.
Nylon - it is a classical guitar.
Nylon Or steel are best for acoustic but i would recommend having nylon strings on classical guitar rather than acoustic.

An acoustic guitar with steel strings (as opposed to a classical guitar which has nylon or gut strings).

Yes, it is. It generally has nylon strings and is constructed an a smaller, more classical frame.
No. A classical uses nylon strings that are softer than the steel strings found on an acoustic. The acoustic produces a brighter, sharper sound.
Just a few differences: a classical uses nylon strings generally, whereas an acoustic uses steel strings; a classical has fewer frets and is a bit smaller than a standard acoustic; the action is generally lower on a classical than an acoustic, and the strings are farther apart on a classical to ease fingerpicking.
Yes. The steel bass strings will have a braided nylon core. If in doubt buy a new set of classical guitar strings.
The term acoustic, albeit not neccessarily accurate, usually implies a guitar with steel strings, whereas classical implies the use of nylon strings. For playing almost all types of modern music, a guitar with steel strings is preferred.
