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.
Typical Typically-sized pencil under a ruler. A standard, hexagonal, "#2 pencil" is cut to a hexagonal height of 1⁄4-inch (6 mm), but the outer diameter is slightly larger (about 9⁄32-inch (7 mm)).[
An ordinary pencil is one example.
Millimeters.
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.
The standard diameter of a pencil is about 0.3 inches or 7.6 millimeters.

The diameter of normal size pencil lead is about 0.7 millimeters.
scale factor=7/3.5=2
A standard pencil is typically about 7 millimeters in diameter, which is roughly 0.28 inches.
A typical pencil is about 7 inches long and 0.25 inches in diameter.

A 7mm pencil lead is thicker than a 5mm pencil lead. The diameter of the lead determines its thickness, so the lead with a larger diameter will be thicker.

pencils can have differend diameters,regular its about 5mm
The diameter of a standard pencil is typically around 0.25 inches or 6.5 millimeters.
