The diameter of atoms ranges from 62 pm (He) to 520 pm (Cs), the diameter of a speck of dust ranges from 0.001 µm to 300 µm depending on the type of dust and its origin.
This is on the order of 1 million times smaller on average. Exact range is as little as 2 times smaller to as much as 4.84 million times smaller considering both extremes. (cesium atoms, the largest atoms; are about half the size of the smallest possible dust speck)

The atom is the fundamental building block of all stuff, or what scientists like to call "matter". An individual atom is very small. In fact, the smallest type of atom, hydrogen, has a diameter of 10-8 cm. This means that if the hydrogen atom was the size of a soccer ball, then a soccer ball would be 6450 kilometers (4008 miles) high. Every single object is composed of atoms. Your body is made up of many, many individual atoms. There are also many different types of atoms. In fact, there are over a 100. These different types are called elements. Examples of some elements are hydrogen, oxygen, iron, copper, and helium. Under normal conditions many atoms can stick together to form larger, different stuff. Scientists call material that results from the joining of different types of atoms "compounds". An example of a compound is water, which is a group of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
If you're talking size, atoms are around 10^-10 metres (one tenth of a nanometre) across, but electrons are at most 10^-18 metres (one attometre) across - at least one hundred milliontimes smaller!
Note that this is a maximum size we've gathered from experiments. Nobody knows how small an electron is for sure, so it's probably much smaller than that!
If you're talking mass, then an electron is around 1/1836 times lighter than the lightest atom, hydrogen, and much lighter than most, heavier atoms. Electrons are so light compared to the rest of the atom, that if you removed all the electrons from your body while standing on a scale, you wouldn't notice the scale dial move. (However, electrons hold the atoms together, so that's not a good idea!)
Atoms vary in size, so let's go with carbon, which is a very common element.
A carbon atom is 340 picometers across, or 340 billionths of a millimeter. By comparison a dime is about 18 millimeters across and 1.35 millimeters thick. This means that, by diameter, a dime is about 53 million times larger than a carbon atom. Even the thickness of a dime is about 4 million times the diameter of a carbon atom.
The diameter of atoms ranges from 62 pm (He) to 520 pm (Cs), the diameter of a speck of dust ranges from 0.001 µm to 300 µm depending on the type of dust and its origin.
Depends on the elements you are using. Lets say if it was the materials of a dime, then its about 2*10^22 atoms

Biogas is useful because it means that our carbon footprint is smaller. It consists of methane and carbon dioxide which is found naturally in animal dung, so we're not adding anything more to the atmosphere. Compared with petrol and diesel, the emissions are much smaller. Also in LEDCs where there is more livestock it is a cheaper way to generate fuel.
'decibel' means power level compared to something else. +36 dB = 3,981 times as much power as whatever it's compared to.
Bacteria is typically smaller than Eukaryotes. In fact, Eukaryotes have an organelle called the mitochondria which resemble an enveloped bacteria.
Well it is much smaller than the actual earth. The crust is a little tiny tiny sliver compared to the other layers. It doesn't get to show the temperature or state of matter on a model (at least most).
No, a virus is much smaller than bacteria.
no a gram is much smaller then a dime.=)
an electron is much much smaller than an atom. An electron is a portion of the nucleus in an atom.
The positive ion has donated an electron to another atom making the other atom a negative ion and much larger in radius. The positive ion is now much smaller in radius.
It would depend on the year and condition.
an atom is about a trillion times smaller then a speck of dust.
A dime. It is smaller and doesn't fight so much air against it.(:
No, since electrons are part of an atom, they are smaller -- much smaller. In fact, they weigh practically nothing.
No much smaller actually.
100,000 times.
The scale
Hotter and dimmer. It's much smaller, but much denser.
