If a row of chocolate kisses were 1 billion long, how many miles would that be?

Question

I just want to see if anyone will measure a chocolate kiss and then do the math.

Answer 1

At approx. 2cm in diameter each, that would be 12,427 miles.

Answer 2

It depends on how they were oriented :). But assuming they are resting on their flat side, they would be roughly an inch at their maximum diameter according to:

This would make a line of 1 billion roughly equal to 15,782.83 miles.

Answer 3

you would need to find out how long is a kiss.
Then you need to find out how many inches are in mile.
then times the kiss by 1 billion then divided that by how many inches are in mile to get your answer.

Answer 4

Say each is half an inch, that would be 500,000,000 inches, which equals 41,666,666 feet, which equals 7891.41 miles. (5280 feet in a mile).

That's assuming each is a half inch, which I pulled out of a hat.

Answer 5

I'd estimate that, at 1 inch per kiss, and 5,280 feet in a mile:

63,360 inches (and kisses) per mile, you'd have:

63,360,000,000,000 kisses, or 63.4 trillion.
