Just how much is a billion?
If you stacked up 1 billion pennies the stack would be about 944 miles tall and would weigh 2,790 tons.
If you started counting the seconds right now you'd get to a billion 31.7 years from now.
If you took a billion steps and averaged 2 feet per step you will have traveled a distance equal to circling the planet over 15 times.
Next?
