...0° and 760 mm pressure contains 10 24 molecules, ie one with twenty-four ciphers. Thomson estimates that if a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, and its molecules increased in the same proportion, they would be larger than fine shot, hut not so... | |

...molecule itself would probably occupy about one twentieth. Another way of stating the size is to say that if a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the molecules would occupy spaces greater than those filled by small shot, and less than those occupied by base-balls.... | |

Kelvin has shown that, if a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the molecules of water would be of a size intermediate between that of a cricketball and of a marble.
