The digits of pi are known to more than a trillion (1012) digits, but it is impossible to state all of them in this forum.
There is 5 trillion digits of pi.
Suppose you have a variable whose exact value is not known. Repeated estimations give values which match up to a certain degree but beyond that they are different. You could take some sort of [weighted] average of the leading digits of these different parts and your estimate for the variable wold be the matched part with the estimated digit appended.For example, if you Google "mass of proton" the WIkipedia site give it as ‎1.672621898(21)×10−27 kg. The (21) - in parentheses - indicates that those two digits are estimated.
From Wikipedia: "As of January 2010, the record is almost 2.7 trillion digits."

Significant digits refer to the number of digits that are known versus the number of digits that are estimated. So if the number 20 is an approximation, there is only one significant digit, which is the 2. However, if 20 is accurate to the ones place, then there are 2 significant digits. 20.00 has four significant digits, because it is known that the number is accurate down to the hundredths place.
The only problem with this technique is that more states are required to be known. These states can be either measured or estimated.

False, one is estimated and three are known
The boiling point of lawrencium is not precisely known due to its limited research and very short half-life. However, it is estimated to be around 1900-2100 degrees Celsius based on its position in the periodic table.
Time is not known until it is measured and when it flies it is missed.
