most people actually fail to grasp even a million.

10x1=10
10×10=100
10×100=1000
so far so easy to comprehend the scaling.
but the next step is different.
1000×1000=1million
Is a million so tricky? We can all estimate 1mm by eye and also walk 1km in maybe 10 or 15 minutes. A million fold difference. Most of us will have driver 1000km in a day at some point - a billion mm.
