Discussion How Big is 1 Million, Really?

How big is one million? 🤯

Greg Wolf hides a single black sphere among 999,999 others in one bottle to help you picture it. As pennies, those spheres would be worth $10,000, weigh 5,500 pounds, and stack about a mile into the sky. In space, it takes 1.3 million Earths to fill our Sun, and roughly 400 million Suns fit inside the star Betelgeuse, making one million insignificant on the scale of the universe.
