ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ: Not counting spaces, the text printed on 136 pages of an Encyclopædia Britannica, or 600 pages of pulp paperback fiction contains approximately one million characters.
ਲੰਬਾਈ: There are one million millimeters in a kilometer, and roughly a million sixteenths of an inch in a mile. A typical car tire might rotate a million times in a 1,200-mile (1,900km) trip, while the engine would do several times that number of revolutions.
ਉਂਗਲੀਆਂ: If the width of a human finger is 2.2cm (7⁄8in), then a million fingers lined up would cover a distance of 22km (14mi). If a person walks at a speed of 4km/h (2.5mph), it would take them approximately five and a half hours to reach the end of the fingers.
ਖੇਤਰ: A square a thousand objects or units on a side contains a million such objects or square units, so a million holes might be found in less than three square yards of window screen, or similarly, in about one half square foot (400–500cm2) of bed sheet cloth. A city lot 70 by 100 feet is about a million square inches.
ਵਾਲੀਅਮ: The cube root of one million is only one hundred, so a million objects or cubic units is contained in a cube only a hundred objects or linear units on a side. A million grains of table salt or granulated sugar occupies only about 64ml (2.3impfloz; 2.2USfloz), the volume of a cube one hundred grains on a side. One million cubic inches would be the volume of a small room only 81⁄3 feet long by 81⁄3 feet wide by 81⁄3 feet high.
ਮਾਸ: A million cubic millimeters (small droplets) of water would have a volume of one litre and a mass of one kilogram. A million millilitres or cubic centimetres (one cubic metre) of water has a mass of a million grams or one tonne.
ਭਾਰ: A million 80-milligram (1.2gr)honey bees would weigh the same as an 80kg (180lb) person.
Landscape: A pyramidal hill 600 feet (180m) wide at the base and 100 feet (30m) high would weigh about a million tons.
ਕੰਪਿਊਟਰ: A display resolution of 1,280 by 800 pixels contains 1,024,000 pixels.
ਪੈਸਾ: A USD bill of any denomination weighs 1 gram (0.035oz). There are 454 grams in a pound. One million $1 bills would weigh 2,204.62 pounds (1,000.00kg), or just over 1 ton.
