ping pong ball
Lightweight hollow sphere
A ping pong ball is a lightweight, hollow plastic sphere used in table tennis.
The balls are typically white or orange and 40 millimeters in diameter.
Their bouncy, buoyant properties make them useful beyond the game—in physics demonstrations, beer pong, and craft projects: The wind scattered ping pong balls across the gymnasium floor.
