Question

if the distance to the Sun is 149,476,000 km how many pencils would it take to build a stick that could touch the sun (assuming they would not be incinerated)

Answer 1

The length of a standard, full-sized #2 pencil is 19 cm long. Convert this to km and we would get 0.00019 km. 149,476,000 km divided by 0.00019 km is equal to 786,715,789,474 pencils being required to touch the sun. Hope this helps!
