How long do you want it to be? You can cut string to whatever length you need, if the ball is big enough. If you've asked someone a question hoping they will give you a finite answer, eg; "how long will the human race last," and they reply,"How long is a piece of string", it means there is no specific answer.

It depends on the piece of string, naturally. But, in general, a string has a bit of elastic give to it. You want to let the string lay slack, but as close to straight as possible. If you pull it taught, you may get a longer measurement than you were looking for.

the total length of a piece of string is exactly double the distance from the middle of the piece of string to either end.

Apiece of string is as long as you decide to cut it,It will be twice as long as it is from the end to the middle.

Sorry, your question is incomplete.
If you have not quantified the length of the string then please do not ask how long it is.
A piece of '3m' string is '3m' long.
