It depends, because the paper could be thicker than others.
Answer
The folded paper would be 1 x (250) times as thick as the original sheet as each fold doubles the thickness
Assuming the initial paper is 1/100 of an inch thick the last fold would make a wad of paper almost 200 million miles thick

∙ 13y agoWhereas, realistically, this is an improbable act, if we assume there is sufficient area to fold said fifty times, folding a .2 mm thick piece of paper fifty times would result in a thickness or .2 time 2 to the fiftieth power millimeters. Otherwise, the thickness would be 225,179,981,368,524.8 mm. That's approximately 225,179,981,369 meters, or about 225,179,981 kilometers.
For reference, the circumference at the equator is about 40,075 kilometers.

∙ 13y ago-- The paper would have the same thickness as it had before you started folding it.
-- If you could manage the folding, and squeeze out all of the air between the layers, then the
bundle would be 1,125,899,907,000,000 times as thick as the sheet of paper is. (rounded)

Is tissue paper a conductor or a insulator?
A piece of notebook paper is not a conductor it is an insulator
Does paper absorb heat?
Depending on the source of the heat energy: -A darker piece of paper would absorb more energy from light sources, then a white piece of paper. This is due to the fact that the white piece of paper would reflect most of the light energy, whereas the dark paper would absorb that energy. This light energy can then be converted into heat energy, leading the dark paper to have more heat energy then the white paper -Heat from a source such as hot water being poured on the paper, would not lead to any color related heat difference
Does paper towel reflect light?
It acts as a diffuser for light, not so much reflect, use "bounce cards" a white peice or cardboard or thick paper.
Why does a crumbled piece of paper hit the ground before a flat piece of paper?
The flat paper has more surface area, allowing it to catch more air and float. The crumpled paper on the other hand, does not, because it doesn't have as much surface area to spread the air out.
What do you use to measure the thickness of a sheet of paper?
This cannot be done very accurately. However, take enough sheets to make a stack sufficiently high to correspond with the length of the metre rule. Divide the number of sheets by a metre. That will give you the fraction of a metre that one sheet makes.
How many times would you have to fold a 1 mm thick piece of paper to reach the moon?
It would take 42 times to fold an average 8.5 by 11 piece of paper to reach the moon!<3
How thick would a piece of paper folded in half be?
Folding the piece of paper does not change the thickness of the piece of paper. However, the thickness of the folded paper would be twice that of the original sheet of paper.
If you had a piece of paper that was 0.001 inches thick how tall a pile would it make if it were folded in half 10 times?
1.028"
If you folded a piece a paper 50 times how tall would it be?
A normal piece of paper is about 0.0038 inches thick. So, if the paper were to be folded 50 times, it would become, essentially, 1,125,899,906,842,624 pieces of paper stacked upon one another. Therefore, you would multiply the above number by 0.0038 and that would be 4278419646001.97 inches or 67,525,562.594 miles of paper. So, a normal 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper folded 50 times would be 67,525,562.594 miles, which is 141 times the distance the Moon is to the Earth.
If a paper is 1mm thick and you fold it 40 times how thick will would it be be?
It would remain 1mm thick.
If you fold a piece of paper in half 50 times how tall would it be?
You can't fold a piece of paper 50 times
Is it possible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times?
nope ive tried it :( multiple times....Well, it depends on what you mean. Of course you can fold a piece of paper lots of times. What you can not do is fold a piece of paper in half lots of times.Your typical piece of paper is about 0.1mm thick. Each fold in half doubles the thickness, so by the time you have folded it 7 times it is 2^7*0.1 mm thick, that's 12.8mm, call it 1/2 an inch thick. And by then your piece of paper is rather small. If it started 8 1/2 x 11, it is now 11/8 x 17/8 inches, or about 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches. (ignoring the size of he folds)The next fold would make it 1 inch thick, and the outside of the fold would be a half circle 1/2 inch radius using pi/2 inches of paper, call it 1 1/2 inches. This isn't going to work.
How thick would be a piece of paper folded 103 times?
Depends how you fold it, but if you fold in such a way that each folding doubles the thickness, that would be 2 to the power 103 times the thickness of a single sheet. (You CAN'T do that with any real paper.)
How many layers would there be if you folded a piece of paper 7 times?
128
If you fold a piece of paper in half 9 times how many sections would there be?
512
If you fold a piece of paper in half 50 times would it reach the moon?
yes the moon is 238,857 miles away whereas a piece of paper folded 50 times reaches over 200,000,000 miles so it would reach the moon (and then some) Edit: A piece of paper (lets use metric for this) is approx 0.1mm thick. Folding it 50 times will create a bundle (2^50)/10 mm thick, which is (1.12589907x10^15)/10 mm, or 1.12589907x10^14. Lets convert it to kilometers, through each step. Cm : 1.12589907x10^13 (divide by 10) M : 1.12589907x10^11 (divide by 100) Km : 1.12589907x10^8 (divide by 1000) So, the paper would be 1.12589907x10^8 km thick. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is only 1.496x10^8km. Therefore, the paper would reach the majority of the way to the Sun... it beat the moon by a long shot. Plus, if the paper were slightly thicker, (eg 0.11mm) it would reach, or even pass, the Sun quite easily.
If you could fold a piece of paper in half 50 times how thick would it be?
In theory, that peice of paper would be thick enough to accomplish the distance from earth to the moon.=================================as i said...in theory. but hypotheticallyit would just be a normal piece of paper that is 0.02cm thick.=================================Answer #2:The paper would still be the same thickness as it was before you folded it.But you're probably asking for the thickness of the big folded wad. Naturally,that depends on how thick the paper is before you start folding it.You haven't mentioned what kind of paper you'd like to use, so I can't actuallycalculate a thickness. All I can tell you is that whatever the thickness of thepaper is, the final folded form will be 250 = 1,125,899,907,000,000 times as thick(rounded to the nearest million times).20-lb bond, widely used for home printers, varies from about 0.0038 to 0.0045 inch thick. If I use 0.004 inch for convenience, and multiply it by the rounded number above, I get(0.004 in) x 250 = 4.5 x 1012 in = 3.8 x 1011 ft = 71 million miles, rounded,or just under 298 times the distance to the moon.(That's if you're careful to squeeze out all the air between the layers after you fold it.)
