• There are approximately two moles of stars in the universe.
• A mole of salt crystals would cover the Earth 17 cm deep, or stacked in a cube, would 27 miles in every dimension.
• A sphere made up of a mole of popcorn seeds would have a radius of 193 miles. 
• If the Earth was made up of a mole of lego bricks, each brick would be 12 cm wide.
• A mole of donuts would cover the Earth to a depth of 5 miles; a mole of basketballs would be the same size as our planet.
