If the sand is totally silicon dioxide and is assumed to be a uniform volume of one cubic millimeter then the number would be approximately 2*10^19 molecules, or 20,000,000,000,000,000,000

There are trillions of atoms in a single grain of sand.

Is a googol larger than all of the atoms in the universe?
A googol is larger than the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe.
Are the atoms of potassium larger than the atoms in calcium?
yes
Are comets smaller than a grain of sand?
No. Comets are usually a few thousand feet to a few miles wide. An object smaller than a sand grain would not be visible in space.Meteors which enter the earth's atmosphere are often sand grain sized, but the once we can see are usually from pebble sized objects.
What are smaller than cells but larger than atoms?
molecules
What will fall faster a 1 pound of sand or 1 pound of bricks?
The brick falls faster through the air than loose sand because each grain of sand has to overcome air resistance which is proportionally larger for the small particles.If you put both brick and sand into the same size box then they will fall at the same rate.
How much larger is an avg grain of sand than a hydrogen atom using powers of ten?
010
Do asteroids vary greatly in size?
Yes. Asteroids can be anywhere from the size of a grain of sand to larger than the Earth.
Why is a grain of sand rounder than a grain of sand in the ocean?
Because of erosion or the water erodes the sand there for shaping it differently.
Is a gram larger than a grain?
i really dont know this answer. if i could guess i would say gram.can u answer this ? -> 5 times 1,007,777,779,999,999 + 10 = 50,388,888,900,000,005 . TRUE OR FALSE!!!!!
Are there more atoms in one grain of sand than there are stars in the known universe?
No. Sand grains vary quite a but in size, but for our purposes let us consider a spherical grain of sand composed of quartz that is 1 millimeter in diameter. Such a grain would have a mass of about 0.0014 grams and given the formula of SiO2, with a molar mass of 60 grams per mole, would contain about 4.2*10^19 (42 quintillion) atoms. It is hard to estimate the number of stars in our universe and there do not appear to be any reliable sources. There are about 100 billion galaxies in the known universe and own galaxy contains an estimated 200 billion stars, but it is significantly larger than the average galaxy. If we figure the average galaxy contains about 20 billion stars then we get an estimate of 2.0*10^21 (2 sextillion) stars in the known universe universe, about 50 times the number of atoms in our sand grain.
What is lighter than a paper clip?
a grain of sand
How do you know that the force that hold a grain of sand together stronger than the force that hold a grain of sugar together?
sugar dissolves, sand don't

Grains of rock larger than sand are called what?
Gravel, cobbles and boulders are all individual clasts of increasing size that are larger than sand.
Why does sand work better than soil at filtration?
sand works better as it has tiny grain particles which make sand easy to pour, whereas soil has is much thicker than sand.
