Following describes a Trillion !
To start, take a dollar bill that is 6 inches long, 2.5 inches wide and
1/200 of an inch thick. Two hundred of these stacked up would be 1 inch high.
700 would be 3.5 inches, 700 thousand would be 3,500 inches or 292 feet. 700
million is 3 1/2 million inches or 55 miles, and 700 Billion is 55 thousand
miles - or more than twice around the earth at the equator. A Trillion
dollars stacked flat against each other would reach around the earth 3 times.
If we look at volume - a briefcase 18 by 15 by 4 inches would hold about
15,000 dollar bills. 750 thousand dollars would fit into 50 briefcases, 750
million in 50 thousand cases, and 750 billion would take 50 million cases. A
2,000 square foot house with 8 foot ceilings holds 16,000 cubic feet so 750
million dollars would take approximately 0.8 houses and 750 billion dollars
would fill 781 such houses. The square mile where I live in Phoenix holds
about 1,000 such houses which could just barely hold 1 Trillion dollar bills.
A football field 300 feet long and 150 feet wide would need to be packed
just under 400 feet high with dollar bills to represent 1 Trillion dollars.
A silver dollar weighs 0.017637 pounds so 57 of them would weigh a pound.
750 billion silver dollars would weigh 13 billion pounds or 6.6 million tons.
A Trillion silver dollars would weigh 8.8 million tons. A diesel train
locomotive weighs around 100 tons and a Sherman tank around 60 tons.
The carnival conquest luxury ocean liner weighs 130,000 tons and will cost
963 million to build, so a Trillion silver dollars weighs as much as 67 such
ocean liners and would pay to build 1,038 such ships.
A thousand seconds ago is about 20 minutes ago. A million seconds ago is
278 hours or about 11 days.
A billion seconds ago was 31 years (1977).
66 Billion years ago Jesus was alive and a Trillion seconds is 31.6 thousand
years.!!
