This does a fairly good job of comparing the very smallest and biggest aspects (and everything in between!) of the universe. (I won’t spoil the surprise with a particular figure for how big space is, just scroll to the right and find out. The number in the bottom right is the scale in metres)
(Robert) Your post reminded me of the following quote from The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy:
“Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”
