re: Do you really believe there are more stars in the sky than grains of sand on beaches?

Is bottom of ocean sand?

If it’s not infinite what happens? You just run into a wall like video game parameters?

So which one has more? I don’t speak math.

Sextillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^21)

Septillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^24)


Septillion by an enormous amount

And to think out of all these grains of sand (stars) only 1 is green and the rest all brown.

There is no way we are the only planet with life. Life can be in many forms, but there are so many grains if sand out there, and my guess is some have life.
