What types of trombone?

If you've every heard a trombone choir or quartet, then you know there are several types of trombone. Originally, and very seldom played anymore except in traditional orchestral groups, the sacbut is a trombone that has no tuning slide, a very small bell, and thin bore. It is quite a finicky instrument to play and has a range comparable to a tenor trombone. As in every other section, there is of course the bass trombone, which is becoming more and more popular. It has been used often in jazz ensembles for its edgy tone and has existed in brass bands and orchestras for years, but has only recently migrated to average level bands. It has a large bell, a wide bore, and often extra attachments that allow it to play even lower (double valve). The tenor trombone can come in a small bore or wider bore model, and its bell is smaller than the bass but bigger than an alto's. It usually has a single trigger valve f attachment. The alto trombone is smaller still, and reads in tenor clef (confusingly enough). The soprano trombone is very rare, and is limited to use in Moravian trombone choirs. It is the very cute size of a trumpet, with a tiny mouthpiece.

What instrument is easier to learn trumpet or trombone?

Clarinet is easier because you have to blow very hard on the trumpet. If you blow too much on trumpet your lips hurt. Also trumpet has only 3 buttons so it will be very harder to do notes.

Actually, that's simply one person's view. The trumpet is not hard to play, nor do you have to "blow very hard" to play it. All instruments are different and each has it's own advantages and disavantages.
