Trillion. Visualization of 1 trillion (short scale) A Rubik's cube, which has about 43 trillion (long scale) possible positions. Trillion is a number with two distinct definitions: 1,000,000,000,000, i.e. one million million, or 10 12 (ten to the twelfth power ), as defined on the short scale. This is now the meaning in both American and ...
Billion. Billion is a word for a large number, and it has two distinct definitions: 1,000,000,000, i.e. one thousand million, or 10 9 (ten to the ninth power ), as defined on the short scale. This is now the most common sense of the word in all varieties of English; it has long been established in American English and has since become common in ...
This section illustrates several systems for naming large numbers, and shows how they can be extended past vigintillion . Traditional British usage assigned new names for each power of one million (the long scale ): 1,000,000 = 1 million; 1,000,0002 = 1 billion; 1,000,0003 = 1 trillion; and so on. It was adapted from French usage, and is ...
For whole numbers smaller than 1,000,000,000 (10 9 ), such as one thousand or one million, the two scales are identical. For larger numbers, starting with 10 9, the two systems differ. For identical names, the long scale proceeds by powers of one million, whereas the short scale proceeds by powers of one thousand.
10 9 inches is 15,783 miles (25,400 km), more than halfway around the world and thus sufficient to reach any point on the globe from any other point. 10 9 metres (called a gigametre) is almost three times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. 10 9 kilometres (called a terametre) is over six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

That was down from more than $700 million in the last fiscal year but more than nine times higher higher than the $43 million spent on earmarks in the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
To put this in perspective, the mass of all such books required to write out a googolplex would be vastly greater than the masses of the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies combined (by a factor of roughly 2.0 × 10 50), and greater than the mass of the observable universe by a factor of roughly 7 × 10 39.
