| | Notiz(en) an den/des Fragesteller(s)Rachel Fell: 6:15pm Dec 19, 2007: It is about the mass of the sun, so needs to be a real number
Rachel Fell: 6:23pm Dec 19, 2007: Is it just "2 billion billion billion"? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/845239.stm - I thought there might be a special term for it, that's all!
Rachel Fell: 10:19pm Dec 19, 2007: This was a term for marketing stuff for children interested in the solar system and lots of other things, so I didn't want something too "hairy" (as we say in the UK, at least) - I just wondered if there was a more normal, everyday term - as I originally learnt a billion to be a million million, and now it's a thousand billion, I was just a bit uncertain! Afraid I have gone with "2 billion billion billion", as it was needed in a hurry, but thanks so much for all your answers!

| | 2 followed by 27 zeros | Erklärung:
Just an idea: "The sun's mass is roughly 2 X 1027 tons. This number would be written out as a 2 followed by 27 zeros" from Nasa.gov website... I've never seen "billion billion billion" written out before, so perhaps you could get round it this way? (i.e. by writing it out in figures: 2000000000000000000000000000), or alternatively by 'converting' it to tons? |
