You cannot blanket a large sphere wit smaller spheres because spheres cannot tessellate. There are always gaps between adjacent spheres and so no blanketing is possible.

How do you find the diameter of water?

Only circles (or spheres) have a diameter


Do cubes have a diameter?

In basic terms...no. A diameter only applies to circles or spheres. The diameter is the distance across the middle at the widest point and the radius is half of the diameter.


Does a planet have its own diameter?

Kind of. All spheres and circles have a diameter, which is the length of a line passing through the center of the sphere. The only problem is that most planets aren't 100% perfect spheres, so the diameter could be different depending on where you start measuring from.


Does the mass of two similar diameter spheres affect the acceleration down a ramp?

Yes


Are All diameters chords in a circle?

A diameter is a cord in a circle containing the center of the circle. But some circles are sections of spheres. Not all diameters are diameters of spheres.


When making a snowman with an 18 inch diameter top sphere and a ratio of 1 to 2 to 3 in the diameters of the other spheres what will the diameters of the other spheres be?

If you have an 18 inch diameter sphere on top, you'll have a 36 inch diameter sphere in the middle and a 54 inch diameter sphere on the bottom. 18 x 2 = 36 and 18 x 3 = 54


Is the earth moon and sun all spheres?

The Sun, Earth and the Moon are all oblate spheroids. Meaning their equatorial diameter is greater than their polar diameter.


How many 3 inch diameter spheres does it take to fill a 6 cubic yard volume?

Each sphere has a volume of about 0.0003 cubic yards and 6/0.0003 = 20,000 spheres


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.


How does the diameter and volume of the sun compare to the size and mass of other space object?

For example, the Sun is roughly 109 times the diameter of Earth; and about 10 times the diameter of Jupiter. The volume (for the simplifying assumption of perfect spheres) is proportional to the third power of the diameter.

How many half inch diameter spheres fit in 353.43 cubic inches?

The volume of a sphere is 4/3 x pi x r3. The radius of those spheres is 0.25 inches. This means the volume of the spheres is 0.0491 cubiic inches. Dividing 353.43 by 0.0491 gives us 7198.17. Assuming we're going by whole spheres, it would take 7198 spheres to occupy this space.
