Remember to answer in powers of 10! (5×105 → 6)
For now, there are only units of length in one dimension. I plan to add more unit practice in the future!
Want to submit your very own Fermi Questions for use in Practice?
Enter your question here! You do not need to put the answer; that gives me more practice to figure it out myself! If the question is understandable, I will add it to the pool!
Thanks for submitting feedback!
Want a new feature added to help you succeed in Fermi? Want to complain about a problem? Or just want to give general feedback?
I'm trying to make the best site for Fermi practice; feedback is appreciated!
Thanks for submitting feedback!
What is Fermi Questions?
Fermi Questions is a SciOly event all about estimations. The event's main focus is answering seemingly impossible questions. (ex: how many rice grains could fit on a football field?) Often, there is not much data and students must make assumptions. Since Fermi Questions works with small and large numbers, answers are submitted in rounded orders of magnitude, or powers of 10. For example, to say that Earth weighs 6 * 10^24 kg, you would submit 25 as your answer, making sure to round up since you have a 6.
