If we assume for simplicity that all sand grains are the same size and spherical there are about 1 million three hundred thousand grains of sand in a given meter of desert. Instead of the average desert I said the Sahara. The Sahara has a area of around 9 million kilometers. We can do 9 million times 1k to get the number of meters in the desert. So I did 1,300,000 * (9,000,0001,000) and that gave 1.1710^18. That is around 1,170,000,000,000,000,000 grains of sand. Assuming I didn't look over something, although I probably did, that should be the number of sand grains in the Sahara. But if you want to choose any desert you can just change the 9,000,000*1000 to correctly match the information of the desert. Also keep in mind that this does not account for the depth of the sands but only accounts for surface and near surface grains.
A desert rose forms when gypsum, calcite, or silica crystals form in loose desert sand. The crystal incorporates the sand grains within its crystal latice and therefore the desert rose looks like it is made of sand yet it retains a crystal structure.

A hill of sand in a desert is normally referred to as a dune
actually most deserts are made up of less than one fourth sand. the Sahara Desert is around 1/7 sand
there are mountains sand dunes rocks and sand in arabian desert

In your sand sample, what is the average weight of a grain?
There are approximately 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) grains of sand in a ton, based on estimates of an average size of a grain of sand.
It is estimated that there are around 2.5 billion grains of sand in a cubic meter. The Sahara Desert covers an area of about 9.2 million square kilometers, so calculating the total number of grains of sand in the Sahara would require very complex math and assumptions. it is practically impossible to accurately count the total number of grains of sand in the Sahara Desert.
The number of grains of sand in a cubic inch can vary depending on the size of the grains. On average, there are about 1.5 million grains of sand in a cubic inch. This estimation is based on the assumption that the average grain of sand is around 0.5 millimeters in diameter. However, it's important to note that this number is an approximation and can vary.
Yes. Sand consists of tiny grains of rock. Rock is not alive.
The Simpson Desert is a sandy desert. It's sedimentary sand grains are predominately made up of rounded quartz grains. Sturt's Stony Desert is an example of a gibber desert.
297.632789 m-1 Depending on size of grains, This answer is based on the average size of grains.
Rocks grind into tiny bits to make sand grains.
A desert arch is formed by the action of wind carried sand grains abrading a weakness in the rock.
