Is the rollerball pen lighter or heavier than a standard ballpoint?

Does this pen come with a cap?

What is the difference between a rollerball and a ballpoint pen?

Rollerball pens use water-based or gel ink, which flows more freely and produces richer lines. Ballpoint pens use oil-based ink that is thicker and more smear-resistant. Rollerballs write more smoothly but may require refills more frequently.

Are replacement rollerball refills available?
