Yes, it is not understood, but by a very few. A billion is not understood by very many.
How long would it take to follow a line of one billion dollar bills placed end to end? Would it take you a year from beginning to end?
One billion dollar bills placed end to end would reach 96,969 miles.
A dollar bill is .512 feet long.....times 1 billion is 512,000,000 feet.
At the equator the earth is 24,901 miles in circumference. That means that One billions dollar bills end to end will circle the earth almost four times (3.89).
If one trillion dollars were placed end to end they would circle the earth 3,898 times.
