An interesting way to try and visualize or imagine such high numbers. Once we get past a few million, it's hard to really imagine and understand what that is, no matter what it is we are counting. Comparisons like this help. We should have more of them on hand, for any example of billions... of anything.

That's impossible ....count n try ☺☺☺
