What is the driffrent numbers on the side of the pencils for?
The number of the pencil is based on the type of carbon lead used inside. The thicker the carbon lead gets the higher the number of the pencil becomes. If you notice a mechanical pencil is 0.9mm in diameter so it would be called a #0.9 pencil. A #2 pencil's lead is 2mm in diameter. So Why would we call a pencil a #3 pencil? Because it's lead is 3mm in diameter.
Is 0.5 lead the same thing as a number 2 pencil?
Actually, what you are asking is referring to the hardness of the pencil. So both, 0.5mm and 0.7mm are the same hardness as number two pencils. The number of lead, 0.5, is a thinner lead in diameter to the 0.7.
What steps do you use to find the volume of a pencil?
For finding accurate volume of a pencil use a vernier calliper, which measures diameter up to two significant figures. For finding volume of a pencil you will need radius (r) and length (L) of the pencil. V = 3.14 r²L

If there is a number two pencil is there a number three pencil?
That would depend if the pencil were an H or a B. Artist pencils are identified with a number and a letter. H is for hard. A 6H pencil would be harder than a 4H pencil. B is for soft. A 6B pencil would be softer than a 4B pencil.
How long is a standard number 2 pencil?
A pencil with one pinted end and one flat end, will have two sides (as the pointed end is all one surface), PLUS however many sides the body of the pencil has - in this case six, so the total willl be 8.
