How many silkworm cocoons it would take to spin a thread that can encircle the Earth?

It would take 40,000 silkworm cocoons to provide enough silk to encircle the Earth (at the Equator) with a single silk thread! The Silkmoth larva (more popularly known as the Silkworm), spins fine silk threads for their cocoons. These threads can be used to weave silk cloth, and some countries have farms that breed Silkworms especially for this purpose.

The caterpillars are fed a special diet of mulberry leaves, and the thread from one caterpillar can be as long as 2,600 feet (800 m.)! More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
