Insturment used to measure the diameter of a string. A micrometer works just fine and is more accurate than a typical string guage which has calibrated slots.

Yes, they do. The gauge of a guitar string determines its thickness and therefore its pitch.
Can you replace the low E string with an A string on guitar?
Technically speaking yes you could...But you would have to file out the nut at the top of the neck to make room for the bigger gauge string. If you're comfortable doing this then go for it, but just know that your normal E string will not sit correctly in the nut anymore unless you replace the entire piece.
Can you put 6 string bass strings onto a 5 string bass - I want to make my 5 string as heavy as possible without just tuning down?
The stings for a 6-string bass are the same gauge and tuning as the ones for a 5-string. The only difference is that a 6-string has a 32 gauge low string. The bridge and tuners should work with the 32 gauge string. Because you are going to be moving all of the strings down one (assuming you want to illuminate the thinnest string), you will be increasing the thickness of all of the strings. You are going to need to adjust the bridge because the neck has a rounded edge and if you don't adjust the string height, you will get a lot of fret buzz.

What is the thickest string on the bass guitar?
an ordinary bass guitar has 4 strings,the thickest being the E string,the thickness of this string depends on the players prefrence,if youll be downtuning a lot then a heavier string is the best option to help stop strings buzzing too much,it all depends on the style you play and personal prefrence,i use medium gauge strings so the E string is 0.105 inches thick,but depending on the gauge of the strings you buy it will be diffrent If you play a 5 string bass the thickest string will be the B string,again the medium gauge thickenss of these strings is 0.125 inches.as for 7 string basses and above im not sure since ive never had the chance to play them e string or if you have a 5 string bass it will be a b string
What gauge is a medium guitar string?
On a 6 string guitar: Generally a 10/46 gauge is considered Medium .010 - .017 - .024 - .030 - .036 - .046. .010 being the lightest 1st string .046 being the heaviest 6th string. There are variations of these individual gauges between mfgs. but this is the avg. Other 6 String sets: Lighter gauge; 8/40 , 9/42 Heavier gauge 11/50, 12/52, 13/54 String materials; Nickel, Nickel coated steel, wound, flatwound round wound a host of different coatings, all of which are suited to what you feel is most comfortable and sound production.
Can you use a guitar string to replace the G string on a bass?
There are many variables to consider. Like the gauges of your other string's and the type of string. ie: steel, nylon ,bronze etc.. On standard packages of guitar strings they are usually gauged by the high E string. For example a set of "10's" are called "light" gauge and range from (low E to High E) 46-36-26-17-13-10 . A set of "9's" would be low to high 42-32-24-16-11-09 So as you can see using a "B" string for a "E" string just means using a heavier gauge string. Some medium gauge and heavy gauge strings are 12 or 13 gauge for the high "E" and a set of ultralight strings have 08 for the "E" and 11 for the ""B" string. So using a 11 for a "e" is like going from ultralight to medium gauge for that one string. Electric guitars are set up for a certain gauge of strings and if you change to another gauge you will most likely need to do a intonation setup afterword or the guitar won't play in tune all over the neck. You can get in tune on the open strings but when you play higher up the neck the guitar will be more and more out of tune.
