“What’s the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars.”
It’s .1% of a billion, that is a rounding error

My favourite way to comprehend it it by time:
A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years

Or 1 million minutes ago was March 22, 2024.
1 billion minutes ago was the height of the Roman empire.
1 trillion minutes ago is a little bit before (about 100,000 years) the earliest homo erectus fossils we found
