3 coplanar points may or may not be collinear. 3 collinear points must be coplanar.

In fact, any 3 points are always coplanar, and if they are not colinear (all three on the same line), they define a unique plane.
Three balls on a table are three coplanar points.
Definition of Coplanar points: Coplanar means that the points are on the equal plane. Plane is a two-dimensional object, with as such is a bit more complicated.Collinear,line,plane and point are the related terms of coplanar.Points that are on the same plane. 2 points are alwayscoplanar...3 points are always coplanar...4 points are sometimes coplanar.
Yes. Any two points are always coplanar.
Yes. Three co-linear points define a line, and therefore also lie on a plane, but those three points do not necessarily define only one plane. You need three points, not co-linear, to uniquely define a plane. See Related Links below for more information.
non-coplanar points
Coplanar Points are points that lie on the same line.
3 coplanar points may or may not be collinear. 3 collinear points must be coplanar.
Points that are coplanar are on the same plane.
coplanar are points that lie on the same plane meanwhile non coplanar are points that don't lie on the same plane.

No, they always are From Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia" when I searched coplanar In geometry, a set of points in space is coplanar if the points all lie in the same geometric plane. For example, three distinct points are always coplanar; but four points in space are usually not coplanar. Since 3 points are always coplanar. A point and line are always coplanar
Three balls on a table are three coplanar points.
Yes, collinear points are also coplanar.
