HOW BIG IS GOOGOL?
- Grains of sand in the world: It is estimated that there are between 7.5 quintillion and 10 quintillion grains of sand on Earth. One googol is 100 trillion times larger than the upper estimate of grains of sand on Earth.
- Atoms in the observable universe: The observable universe is estimated to contain between 10^78 and 10^82 atoms. One googol is 10^18 to 10^22 times larger than the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe.
- Seconds since the Big Bang: The estimated age of the universe is about 13.8 billion years, or approximately 4.3 x 10^17 seconds. One googol is about 2.3 x 10^82 times larger than the number of seconds since the Big Bang.
- Estimated number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy: The estimated number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy is between 100 billion and 400 billion. One googol is 2.5 x 10^87 to 10^88 times larger than the estimated number of stars in the Milky Way.
- Estimated number of bacteria on Earth: It is estimated that there are approximately 5 x 10^30 bacteria on Earth. One googol is 2 x 10^69 times larger than the estimated number of bacteria on Earth.
- Estimated number of grains of rice produced globally each year: It is estimated that the world produces about 500 million metric tons of rice each year, which is approximately 5 x 10^15 grains of rice. One googol is 2 x 10^84 times larger than the estimated number of grains of rice produced globally each year.
- Estimated number of people who have ever lived: It is estimated that approximately 108 billion people have ever lived on Earth. One googol is about 9.3 x 10^91 times larger than the estimated number of people who have ever lived.
