Our story starts out in space
Our Earth goes round the Sun The Sun is a Star – Our Star
Stars cluster together in Galaxies
And In each Galaxy there are about 100,000,000,000 Stars = 1011
Galaxies are spread across the Universe
In the Universe there are 100,000,000,000 Galaxies = 1011
So - there are about 100,000,000,000 stars in each galaxy and 100,000,000,000 galaxies altogether
So altogether there are 100,000,000,000 x100,000,000,000 Stars in the Universe = 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 1022 stars altogether
This is a very BIG number

10,000 = 104
1000 squares = 100,000 = 105
Buckminsterfullerene
The Earth is 100,000,000 times larger than a soccerball and a soccerball is 100,000,000 x larger than a Buckyball 107m 10-1m 10-9m 108 108
The ratio of the size of the buckyball to the soccerball is the same ratio as the size of the soccerball to the earth
