Is Earth the same size as a soccer ball?

No, Earth is bigger than a soccer ball. The analogy you may have seen is that if Earth were the size of a soccer ball, the Moon would be the size of a tennis ball, and would orbit the Earth at an average distance of 22 feet away.

Is earth smoother than a billiard ball?

Yes, it is.According to the World Pool-Billiard Association, a pool ball is 2.25 inches in diameter, and has a tolerance of +/- 0.005 inches. In other words, it must have no pits or bumps more than 0.005 inches in height. That's pretty smooth. The ratio of the size of an allowable bump to the size of the ball is 0.005/2.25 = about 0.002. The Earth has a diameter of about 12,735 kilometers (on average, see below for more on this). Using the smoothness ratio from above, the Earth would be an acceptable pool ball if it had no bumps (mountains) or pits (trenches) more than 12,735 km x 0.00222 = about 28 km in size. The highest point on Earth is the top of Mt. Everest, at 8.85 km. The deepest point on Earth is the Marianas Trench, at about 11 km deep. Hey, those are within the tolerances! So for once, an urban legend is correct. If you shrank the Earth down to the size of a billiard ball, it would be smoother.


If earth was the size of an orange how big would the sun be and How far away would it be?

If the Earth's size is reduced to that of an orange, the Sun would be around the size of a beach ball and would be located approximately 25 meters away from Earth (about 82 feet). This demonstrates the vast difference in scale between the Earth and the Sun.


How far is the sun from the earth if the sun was scaled down to a golf ball?

In the scale in which the sun is the size of a regulation golf ball, Earth is the size of one medium grain of sand, and the distance between them is about 458 centimeters.


What is the size of the tip of a ball point pen?

That depends on pen. There are many models manufactured with different ball sizes.


If the Spaceship Earth ride at Epcot was a real golfball what proportional size would you be to hit it?

Spaceship Earth at Epcot is 180 feet tall. A golf ball is 1.68 inches tall. A 6 foot tall golfer is about 42 times taller than the golf ball. Therefore, to use Spaceship Earth as a golf ball you need to be around 7,714 feet tall, or just under 1.5 miles tall. An average drive for a golfer that size would be nearly 150 miles.


If the sun was the size of an eye how big would the earth be?

What is the size of a butterfly brain?

The best way to tell you the size of a butterfly brain is to compare it to something instead of giving an actual measurement. Their brain is roughly same size as the point of a ball point pen.


How many mercurys would equal the size of earth?

What if the earth shrank in size but not mass?

If Earth shrank in size but not mass, the compression would greatly heat Earth's interior. Surface gravity would increase.
