How much area would a billion grains of sand fill?

Answer 1

If fine sand has roughly 100,000 grains per cubic inch, then I make that 5.8 cubic feet (or about 43 liquid gallons).

In terms of AREA, that would depend on how thick you spread out that sand.

In very rough terms, I would say it would take up about 9 normal buckets. (average bucket size is about 5 gallons)

(1 cubic foot = (12x12x12) cubic inches = 1728 cubic inches)

Therefore, 1 cubic foot contains 1728 x 100000 fine grains = 172800000

1000000000 / 172800000 = 0.1728

1 / 0.1728 = 5.787

Answer 2

The size of a grain of sand can vary, but on average, a grain of sand has a volume of about 0.5 cubic millimeters. With a billion grains of sand, this would equate to approximately 500,000 cubic meters of sand. To visualize this, it would cover an area of about 125 meters by 125 meters, or roughly the size of two football fields.

Answer 3

Oh, honey, a billion grains of sand would fill about 1,000 square feet. That's enough to cover a decent-sized backyard or a small apartment. Just imagine all those tiny grains getting everywhere – I hope you're ready for a sandy situation!

Answer 4

Oh, dude, a billion grains of sand would cover like a football field or two, depending on the size of the grains. So, yeah, that's a lot of tiny pieces to have lying around. Just imagine trying to clean that up after a day at the beach!

Answer 5

A billion grains of sand would roughly fill about 1 cubic meter of space.
