Just for fun Using ChatGPT the Estimated number of galaxies, solar systems
And planets in the universe. ChatGPT then estimated the total volume if each planet was equal to a grain of sand.


Just thinking about how large and expensive the universe is and how many Planets exist, just blows my mind.

So, if each plan was equal to a grain of sand, this would be the amount of sand in the universe:

- The **Great Pyramid of Giza** has a volume of around 2.6 million cubic meters. So, 10^24 grains of sand would be enough to fill the Great Pyramid of Giza **about 25 billion times**.
- **Mount Everest** has a volume estimated at around 1 trillion cubic meters. So, a septillion grains of sand would be equivalent to the volume of **65 Mount Everests**.

### Conclusion
10^24 (a septillion) grains of sand would fill about **65 trillion cubic meters**. That's roughly equivalent to **65 Mount Everests** made entirely of sand! The sheer scale is almost incomprehensible, illustrating just how enormous a septillion really is.
