I received this information in a lab experiment that we performed. These comparisons are interesting, and however irrelevant it may be to anything, it just makes you think about how big or small everything seems to be. Just keep reading and you'll see what I'm talking about.
One part per million is one second in 12 days of your life.
One part per billion is one second in 32 years of your life.
One part per million is one pinch of salt in 20 pounds of potato chips.
One part per billion is one pinch of salt in 10 tons (20,000 lbs) of potato chips.
One part per million is one inch of 16 miles.
One part per billion is one inch in 16,000 miles.
One part per TRILLION is one step on a journey to the sun!
Imagine the comparisons in retrospect to the universe or other things... They can be real eye openers.
