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.

What is a distance across the end of a pencil?
Ah, the distance across the end of a pencil is what we call the diameter. It's the measurement from one side of the pencil to the other side, passing through the center. Just imagine a little circle that fits perfectly on the end of your pencil – that's the diameter!
