Millions Billions and Trillions

Some numbers are simply enormous and that can get exciting. We need names for very large numbers, see below.

Million
A Million is a thousand multiplied by a thousand or 10 multiplied by itself 6 times. A Million is written as 1,000,000.

Examples
 * 1) Dinosaurs became Extinct roughly 65 million years ago.
 * 2) Many millions of People have been laughing at Donald Trump and playing a game that makes fun of the Strump on the Website Trump Donald org.

Metaphor Million, billion and trillion can be used Metaphorically indicating an unspecified very large number. "I've told you millions of times to stop this rebellious Liberal talk! We're Conservatives round here! (Nasty comment from a conservative parent, pastor, teacher at a private school)"

Billion
A Billion is either 1,000,000,000, a thousand million or 1,000,000,000,000, a million million, there are different versions. The smaller billion is very much more frequent.

Examples
 * 1) The Earth, the Sun and the Solar System are roughly 4.6 billion years old. (That's the smaller billion, 4,600,000,000 years.)
 * 2) The Universe is 13.82 billion years old and the Astronomers are fairly sure about that figure. (That's also the smaller billion, 13,820,000,000 years.)

Metaphor "Stop this rebellious Liberal talk! We're Conservatives round here! how many billions of times do we have to tell you that? (Nasty comment from a conservative who isn't very nice)"

Trillion
A Trillion is either 1,000,000,000,000 : a thousand billion or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 : one million million million, there are different versions.
