Data, data…everywhere…
As the netizens of this world, the amount of data we produce every day is truly mind-blowing. It is estimated that there are 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created each day at our current pace. However, this will increase due to the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT).
A quintillion is equal to 10 to the power 18 in America, or 10 to the power 30 in France and Germany.
In short scale:
1000000000000000000
In long scale:
1000000000000000000000000000000
This number is also called hexillion in Russ Rowlett's Greek-based naming system.
To understand how BIG is Quintillion, kindly look at the following mind-blowing examples.
Examples for Quintillion:
Niagara Falls takes up 210,000 years (about 30 times all recorded history) to use up a quintillion gallons of water.
A single drop of water contains 1.7 quintillion water molecules.
The distance from the Milky way to Andromeda is 2 million light years, which is about 11.73 quintillion miles.
The entire Earth contains about 326 quintillion gallons of water.
There are about 43.3 quintillion ways to arrange a 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube.
