Rough estimate: 249k (249 thousand)

The amount of tennis balls is roughly equal to V_bus (volume of the bus) / V_ball (volume of one tennis ball) * packing factor.

Take the following assumptions:

1.) a double-decker bus has a volume of 75 m^3

2.) a tennis ball has a diamater of 6.6 cm (radius = 0.033 m)

3.) the packing factor (which accounts for bus interior ~15% and imperfect packing of balls ~35% lost in "voids between balls" due to spherical shape) is equal to (1-0.15-0.35) = 0.5

Therefore the amount of tennis balls  =  75 / (4/3pi0.033^3) * 0.5 = ~249115

All good until the end. 75m3 volume is close enough (77m3 is standard). However, spherical objects nest into each other at about a 15% to 20% space savings. So, the answer is around 300,000. I have to determine packing volume as part of my job :)

I think we should divide the Volume of a double-decker bus by / Volume of the Tennis ball to get the accurate answer

Roughly 200000 rounded up if you calculate it regularly I would say 40 could fit in 1 seat and there is probably 70 seats estimated in each row so 40 x 140 is 5600 so do that times 5600 x 20 because it’s half of the tennis balls would be 112000 so we will do 70 of the seats x the 70 other seats would be 4900 x 20 is 98000 and 112000 + 98000 is 210000 so we will add 5600 onto 4900 which is 10500 subtract 10500 from 21000 is is 199950

Guesstimate: 290,000. That's based on a diameter of 6.6 cm. per ball, and dimensions of 2.25m wide, 3.5m high, and 10m long for the bus.

Could you fit the population of London in one thousand double decker busses?

Not even close- and not even with pushing and shoving. A double decker can hold about 90 people. Population of London is 8.64 MILLION people. That would take at least 96,378 double deckers.

What did old tennis balls look like?

Before television was invented, tennis balls were white. They would have remained this way if television had not been broadcast on live TV This was because people couldn't see the white tennis balls flying across the screen. So, they were changed to neon green/yellow so that viewers could see them.

Is there way of describing the quantities involved in the news without using number?

In some cases it may be possible by using comparisons, but that depends on the readers being familiar with the concepts. You could say "it fell from the height of a double-decker bus" but that statement would have no meaning to someone who had never seen a double-decker bus. And what would you do if it fell from twice that height? You could not say 2 double-decker buses because that is using a number (2).

Yes, and the car-carrying shuttle trains which run between Folkestone and Calais are double-decker.The limitation was on the British side. But the new High Speed line to St. Pancras has been built to European size, and a double-decker TGV could in theory get as far as St. Pancras, but AFAIK it has not been attempted yet.

Why are baseballs made of rubber?

Rubber helps Tennis Balls bounce better. If you get the kind of tennis balls with a very solid and not hollow rubber, it won't bounce. If it's hollow it will bounce way better. How could tennis balls not bounce without rubber? Tennis balls are made of rubber because it helps it bounce. This may sound silly, but how could a tennis ball bounce without being made of rubber? Tennis balls need rubber so that when they come into contact with the ground they do not burst or crack. It will dent slightly and go back to its original form. This is an advantage to a tennis ball being made out of rubber. so it can bounce.
