How Many Staples To Cross The Earth?

1) How far would one mole of staples placed end to end stretch?

2) Calculations

1 staple measures 1cm


1 mole of staples measured end to end is 6.02x1023 cm

6.02x1023 cm x m =6.02x1021 m
100cm

6.02x1023 m x km =6.02x1018 km
1000m

The diameter of the earth is 1274.2x101 km

6.02x1018 km x diameter of the earth


1274.2x101 km

3) One mole of staples placed end to end would cover the entire diameter of the earth 4.7 times.
