You encounter a large sink hole and you need to report it to the authorities. When you call they ask you its diameter. Being a hole you can not measure the diameter directly but it takes 150 steps to walk its circumference. What is the hole's diameter? Assume your steps are 0.8 m
You decide to go on an interstellar mission to explore some of the newly discovered extrasolar
planets orbiting the star ROTOR. Your spacecraft arrives in the new system, in which there are
five planets. ROTOR is identical to the Sun (in terms of its size, mass, age and composition). From
your observations of these planets, you collect the following data:

The number density of air in a child's balloon is roughly the same as sea level air, 1019 particles/cm3. If the balloon is now 20 cm in diameter, to what diameter (in km) would it need to expand to make the gas inside have the same number density as the ISM, about 1 particle/cm3?
