Approximately sixteen trillion. I suspect that number is not really comprehensible to a large population though.

This video helped me visualize how big of a number 1 trillion is:

Current US debt is almost 34 trillions? https://www.usdebtclock.org/

So the debt is just a bit more than two of these microSD cards' worth of storage! I might have the unit conversion wrong, though.

If you were to count those at a rate of 1 per second, it would take about half a million years.

It’s enough to store the name of every human being that has ever lived.

so the grains of sand on TRAPPIST-1e

1 Byte = 8 bits

1 KByte = 8 * 1000 = 8 000 bits

1 MByte = 8000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 bits

1 GByte = 8000000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 000 bits

1 TByte = 8000000000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 000 000 bits

2 TBytes = 8000000000000 * 2 = 16 000 000 000 000 bits

All values approximate.

16,000,000,000,000
