If my eyes are good thats 10 billion cubic feet which is equal to 1,893,939 cubic miles. that is approximatly equal to a square that is 15129 miles wide by15129 miles long and 15129 miles high. You body would float like a speck of dust

You would float until the density of the volume you and the suit occupy equals that of the air displaced. We need to know how much volume is occupied and the total weight. That suit cannot be too light to hold that much helium and be inflate-able and not pop. We also need to know your weight. Aside from the academic, that is a very great amount of volume to consider regarding helium or some other material that you might wish to put into a suit and wear.

Yes you will float. Here is the secret. normal air weighs about 5-6 grams per cubic foot. Helium will only weigh about 1 gram. So, when you take 10 billion cu ft of air that weighs 5g and replace it with 1g, you will float. In fact that size of bag will pick up something that weighs about 44,000 pounds, about the size of an empty tractor trailer rig.

I don't know how high you would float, sry

depends upon the size of the inflatable suit. If you compressed 10000000000 cubic feet of helium into a 1 cc cube you would not be able to lift it

Mythbusters had an episode of this called the floating raft. The raft barely fit into an airplane hanger. This is not practical.
you will float if (how much do you weigh)-(how much 1000000000 cubic ft of healium lifts) < 0

Ask the Mythbusters I'm sure they could tell you. I saw an episode where they tested the whole myth of "How many heleium filled ballons would it take to lift a person off the ground?" The answere turned out to be about 25 giant ballons.

With that amount of helium? impossible. Where would you get such volume?

But just to answer your question, you will float up to the sky and burn on the atmosphere.

no, because there's not that much helium on earth

and you can't float on imaginary helium.

But if you did it, you would float into orbit.
