I've actually been doing some reading on this. So although, I might not be 100% on everything, I can give you the gist of my research.
Longboards come in a bunch of sizes and have dedicated task. Then tend to promote stability at the sacrifice of maneuverability, and depending on the size of the board it'll have a reversed kingpin truck. These promote stability in carving motions by putting the turning emphasis on the front truck. Standard kingpin trucks puts the turning on the tail. It's why you can tic tac easily on skateboards and not full sized longboards. One type of longboard is the cruiser. They are easy to push and meant for minor task like commuting and bombing mellow hills. You can obviously do other stuff on it, but that's the general expectations of a cruiser. They can resemble the typical longboards or oddly shaped skateboards. They tend to get grouped as a whole as longboards no matter the dimensions.
Cruisers can look like this, this, this, or this. Penny boards are pretty much smaller plastic versions of the 3rd board. They are lightweight, and the large and soft wheels makes it easy to ride a large variety of surfaces without much work. Some people like them, but I can't stand the things. They flex too easily. It's too small which makes it harder to do pretty much everything but carry it. They are slippery, and the tiny tail with those tall and oddly shaped trucks makes it super hard to pop. The larger variants are Nickel boards. They aren't as bad, but I would still prefer to get a wooden board with griptape. But technically, they're cruisers and thus grouped in the longboard family.
Other longboards include downhill, dance, freeride, freestyle, and cruising/carving
Technically they're all skateboards, but the way we're using the term, skateboards are typically used for cruising and tricks and have smaller wheels because of it. Again the standard truck puts the emphasis on the tail for turning. The size promotes precision maneuverability at lower speeds. They tend to be smaller than longboards, but depending on the setup they can overlap. Popsicle decks are the norm, but you'll find people skating all types of shapes. For example old school freestyle decks are much flatter and tend to be directional. Some decks can double as cruisers and park decks as long as you have standard trucks, a tail, and change the wheels out. They won't be as good as a deck built specifically for the park, but it'll more or less work depending on the skater and the skating being done.
