∙ 13y agoThe # is reference to the hardness of lead A number 2 pencil is averagely hard aka HB
The "number 2" designation refers to the "hardness" of the lead. The higher the number, the "harder" The "7mm" designation refers to the "thickness" of the lead. The higher the number, the thicker. They are not the same pencil.
The number two in reference to a pencil denotes the relative hardness of the graphite or "lead" that is in the pencil, HB being softer and three being harder, etc.
No 2 pencils come in a variety of sizes and styles (traditional and mechanical pencils). The "No 2" means it's a medium grade lead...there are harder leads that write lighter in color (usually used for drafting and engineering), and softer leads that write darker in color (usually used by artists)...
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.
a number two pencil is made of wood with graphite in the center of it
The 2 is the number of the lead in the pencil.
2

Usually on most pencils it says it on the case or on the side of the pencil by the eraser it says PENCIL #2 or #2.Hope i helped!:)
Theoretically, the a number 2 pencil can write an infinite number of words. The number 2 in the number 2 pencil actually indicates how hard the graphite is. For more information, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil_hardness#Grading_and_classification

It has to do with the kind of graphite or material used as the lead for the pencil.
Yes!!!
I needed a number 2 pencil. Stella penciled the appointment into her datebook. The pencil was chewed on. I lost my only pencil.
HB 2 pencil has a slightly softer lead than a regular HB pencil, which gives it darker markings. The "2" in HB 2 stands for the American grading system, while the regular HB is based on the European grading system. Both are commonly used for general writing and drawing.
A 2 soft pencil refers to the hardness level of the pencil lead. A 2 soft pencil will have a softer lead that is darker and smoother to write with compared to harder pencils. The number 2 is typically used in the United States to indicate medium softness, while in other countries, the same pencil may be labeled as HB.
