The Grand Canyon

Doing a little conversion, this comes to be 1,100,758,441,558,442 Gallons of water!!!!!! That is an insane amount of water to think about. Put into comparison, the Nile River can only hold 79,251,615,707.4 Gallons of water at any time. That means it would take 13889 Nile Rivers in order to fill the Grand Canyon.

To me, this is honestly just mind blowing. I knew that the Grand Canyon was VERY large, but never would I ever imagine that it can hold this much water. I mean, I can't even say the number.

Well I hope you Steemians found that mildly interesting.
