Why does it make sense that six billion people can stretch around the equator?
There is no "why", because it doesn't make sense. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is about 24,900 miles. If you try to arrange six billion things along that line, you can only allow an average of about 1/4 inch per each ... hardly a "stretch".
How many diameters are around Pluto?
Spheres only have one diameter. Planets are a little different than spheres in that they tend to bulge at the equator, so the size of their diameter depends on where you measure it. Planets are usually measured along the equator, but you could measure them in an infinite number of places.

Astronomers measure what kind of ascension eastward from the vernal equinox?
The question could have been written more clearly, I think.Anyway, the answer is "right ascension".That's one of the coordinatesused to define the positionof an objectin the sky on the "celestialsphere".It is angular distance, measuredeastward from the Vernalequinox, along the "celestialequator".
Why is an elastic measuring tape not used to measure length?
B/C if the tape could stretch you'd register different lengths for the same distance depending on how hard you pulled at the tape measure.
Does the amount of stretch affect the distance a rubber band will travel what material do you need for that experiment?
Yes because you could stretch the rubber band long and it will go far but if you stretch short it will not go as far. the materials you need is rubber bands a tape measure or meter stick paper pencil
If we laid out all your blood vessels how far would they stretch?
