minus-squareCypher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·5 months agoI’m not sure what lily pads so I went with the largest which have around 7.069m2 of surface area or 0.0000007069km2 surface area. Earth has a surface area of 510,064,472km2 After 120 days of doubling we have 6.64614x1035 * 7.069x10-6 = 4.6982Ex1030 So you are correct but it’s also around 23x the surface area of the sun.
