  2. Googol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol

    To put in perspective the size of a googol, the mass of an electron, just under 10 −30 kg, can be compared to the mass of the visible universe, estimated at between 10 50 and 10 60 kg. [5] It is a ratio in the order of about 10 80 to 10 90, or at most one ten-billionth of a googol (0.00000001% of a googol).

    Therefore, it requires 10 94 such books to print all the zeros of a googolplex (that is, printing a googol zeros). [4] If each book had a mass of 100 grams, all of them would have a total mass of 10 93 kilograms. In comparison, Earth's mass is 5.97 × 10 24 kilograms, [5] the mass of the Milky Way galaxy is estimated at 1.8 × 10 42 kilograms ...
