Yes, in the sense that different materials can result in a ball with a different density and weight. For example, the core of a Baseball is typically composed of either rubber or cork. Since rubber is denser than cork, balls made with a rubber core will weigh more than balls made with a cork core. If you were to compare the distance travelled by a ball when hit by a bat, the lighter cork-core ball will travel further than a heavier rubber-core ball (assuming, of course, that all other factors are equal, including the force that the ball was hit with and air drag).

Yes, it does. But the sports ruling body specifies the composition to very precise degree so that they are pretty much similar.

How does the distance change with time?

The time does affect the distance traveled because the longer you allow something to go, the farther its going to go. the other way around would be the longer you let it to, the longer its going to take. So time DOES affect the distance traveled.

Does the temperature of a ball affect the distance traveled?

well...according to my scientific calculations the colder the ball is the harder it will be, this makes it difficult to travel far. Although, the outside temperature of the ball does not affect the inside temperature. This means looks can be decieving.
