place one in a particle accelerator, spin it around faster than the speed of light and find out, when you do, let me know.

First you need the weight of an emperor penguin, then assume that the penguin is all water and since a Mole of water weighs 34 gm. Find the number of Moles in a penguin. Then multiply the number of Moles by Avogadro's Number.
As you can see this is an approximation made with some assumptions.

if we assume that the penguin is all made of carbon ( which it is not of course) and ignoring the other elements like hyrdogen oxygen nitrogen etc. then in 12g there will be approx 60200000000000000000000 atoms. if the average emperor penguin is say 100kg (have no idea what they really way) then 100000g/12g=8333.3. this multiplied by 602000000000000000000000 = 5016646600000000000000000000 atoms based on carbon. so will be within that value give or take 10%

None, The emperor Penquin is an illusion of light, hee-hee
My chemistry teacher told me something very helpful in judging number of atoms something has.
There are more Atoms is a drop of Water than drops of Water in the Ocean.
There are probably billions of Atoms in an Emperor Penquin.
Why would you care anyway.

THERE ARe three hundred billion trillion and 42 atoms in an emperor penguin. I know as I am always atomising them for use in expensive perfumes. It's my evil trade.

I'm so glad somebody asked this question. I have been waiting to tell someone the exact number since i was a child. I was visiting my local zoo and a penguin waddled up to me and told me - but now i forget exactly how many. I think it's between a few and a lot..

What on earth possesses you to ask this sort of question? What are you going to do with a load of dopey answers which of course is all you'll get, so why did you bother in the first place?

10^80 in the universe (someone counted them all apparently), so just count down
