A "bola" is any spherical object. "Pelota" is the ball used in sports such as soccer or basketball. There is also another word that is "balón" and is used as a synonym for "pelota". Some people use "bola" as a synonym for "pelota" (like ekhaterine). At this moment I can only think of one example where the three are not interchangeable, when we talk about a "fútbol americano" football we say balón de fútbol americano
