The difference between a million, a billion and a trillion


The words “million,” “billion” and “trillion” look and sound pretty much the same.


But if you stacked up thousand-dollar bills to reach one million, it would reach four inches high. One billion thousand-dollar bills stacked up is around 333 feet high. One trillion is about 63 MILES high.
