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

Atoms are not larger than a grain of sand. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and are extremely small, while a grain of sand is composed of many atoms and is visibly larger.
Atoms are not bigger than a grain of sand. Nobody has ever even seen an atom. They are incredibly small.
A grain of sand is much bigger than an atom.
There are trillions of atoms in a single grain of sand.
Molecules are smaller than cells but larger than atoms. They are composed of atoms bonded together to form a distinct structure.
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.
yes
Pebbles sink faster than sand grains due to their larger size, weight, and density. The larger surface area of pebbles compared to sand grains experiences less resistance as they sink through the water, allowing them to fall more quickly. Sand grains, being smaller and lighter, have a larger surface area that creates more friction with the water, slowing down their sinking rate.
Yes, a googol is larger than the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe. A googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros, while the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe is around 10^80.
