...pretty soon it adds up.
First some facts. A dollar bill is .0043 inches thick, 6.160 inches long, 2.61 inches wide, and weighs 1 gram(1); the distance from New York to San Francisco is 2,905 miles(1); the average distance to the moon is 238,857 miles(1); the circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,903 miles(1); the Queen Mary weighs 48,923 tons(2); the average life expectancy in the United States is 78.1 years(2); the 2009 adjusted population of the US is 308,000,000(2); and there are 31,557,600 seconds in a single year. Now, let's see how these facts relate.
1 trillion dollar bills stacked together would reach 67,866 miles, or
from New York to San Francisco ... 23 times!
1 trillion dollar bills placed side by side would reach 41,193,181 miles, or
to the moon and back... 172 times!
1 trillion dollar bills placed end to end would reach 97,222,222 miles, or
would form a continuous stack around the earth... nearly 17 inches high!
1 trillion dollar bills would weigh 1,102,311 tons, or
the equivalent of... 22 1/2 Queen Mary's!
To spend 1 trillion dollars in a lifetime, one would have to spend, 24/7/365, from birth to death, $405.74 per second!
1 Trillion dollars equates to
$3,248.65 for every person in the US!
1 trillion seconds ago
was more than 29,000 years before Christ!
1 trillion seconds from now
will be the 33 millennium!
