Not a lot. The rating is to denote the voltage the bulb is designed for. The higher rating just says it will handle voltage that high so you have a bit more flexibility if your voltage fluctuates.

The main difference between a 130V and 120V light bulb is the voltage rating. A 130V bulb is designed to operate optimally at 130 volts, while a 120V bulb is designed for 120 volts. Using a bulb with the correct voltage rating ensures it operates safely and efficiently.
One has a filament designed to work on 120 volts, the other has a filament designed to work on 240 volts.
The 130 volt light bulb will last longer in use but some of these types of bulbs do not give out the same light output as do 120 volt bulbs.
130 volt electrical power is typically used in residential and commercial lighting applications, as well as in some industrial settings for specific equipment and machines. It is commonly found in North America and Japan, where the standard voltage for electrical outlets is 120 volts.
Yes, for about .1 second, then it will blow the lamp. A 9v battery will however light three 3.5v lamps.
Yes, a 12 volt auto light bulb can work on 12 volt AC, but the light output might be slightly lower compared to when using DC. The bulb will still produce light, but it may flicker due to the alternating current.
Choose a bulb with the same voltage as your fixture to prevent damage or risk of overheating. If the fixture specifies 120 volts, use a 120-volt bulb. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's instructions or a professional electrician.
A 13.5 volt bulb will burn less brightly but last longer.
