Have you ever thought about unfathomable numbers? Like 6.02 x 10^23. That would be a mole. A mole of skittles would be 6.02 x 10^23 skittles. That amount of skittle would fill the Grand Canyon, and then some. That's how huge a number that is. Surprisingly though, moles are around us at all times. Not just the burrow-y ones (sorry, that was a bad pun waiting to happen). Say, a mole of Carbon weighs exactly 12 grams. Just twelve grams to contain 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of Carbon. To put this in perspective, this is the number expanded= 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. This is huge. If you have a mole of pennies, you could give every single person 1 million dollars every day for 2500 years. This would cover 216,721,026,000,000,000 cubic meters. That's a factor of a thousand away from filling the entire Earth. You could cover the Earth in pop cans. Not just once, but a layer about 200 miles thick. Then back to the Carbon example. About 12 grams of Carbon is a mole. Just 12 grams. This proves how insanely small atoms are. My mind=blown.
