The entire solar system has only 10x07 more atoms than earth? I find that hard to believe is there a source for these numbers?
By increasing the exponent simply by one, the output number increases two-fold from the previous, based on 2^10 to 2^11. In the case above, I guess it would be, increased by 10 times. But I think you are wrong, it says atoms in the solar system.
