A ranged attack is a type of attack that mobs and players use to cause damage to a target from a distance.
The projectiles used as ammo by bows and crossbows, as well as the thrown trident projectile, have varying damage depending on the user and their velocity. The projectiles exclusive to mobs vary in damage depending on difficulty.
The damage of ranged weapons is different when used by players compared to when they're used by mobs.

When used by mobs, ranged weapons have set damage according to the mob type. Additionally, certain mobs have ranged attacks that are not replicable by player-obtained weapons.
Charge time represents the time it takes to charge a ranged weapon before firing it.
The charge time of player-initiated ranged attacks is dependent on the ranged weapon they're using. Due to a server-client desync bug, ranged weapons can occasionally be fired 1 tick earlier than their programmed charge times.[1]

Mobs have differing firing speeds for their ranged attacks, some of which are changed based on difficulty.
Ranged attacks have innate inaccuracy values, which dictate the randomness of projectile trajectory. This value affects both players and mobs.
Player ranged attacks using bows, crossbows, and tridents have a default inaccuracy value of 1 (0.25 in the Java Edition Combat Tests).
Certain mobs are affected by the inaccuracy value. Skeletons (and their variants) specifically have their inaccuracy value affected by the world difficulty, with a value of 10 on Easy, 6 on Normal, and 2 on Hard.
