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.

Does a small grain of sand weigh 1mg?

No, a small grain of sand typically weighs much less than 1mg. The weight of a grain of sand can vary depending on its size, but on average it is in the range of a few micrograms.


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.

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 clastic grain size is between 0.0004-0.0006?

The clastic grain size between 0.0004-0.0006 mm is classified as silt. Silt particles are fine-grained sedimentary particles that are larger than clay particles and smaller than sand particles.
