If I understand your question, you are wanting a way to show how really large the number 1 trillion is in relation to something we can more readily understand.
Since there are 31,536,000 seconds in a year approximately 31,710 years (actually 31709.791 yrs. )would have to pass before using up 1 trillion seconds.
Another example: The distance from the earth to the sun is about 93 million miles. If we earned 1 trillion free travel miles (on American Spacelines and assuming no black out dates ! ) then we could make 5376 round trips to the sun ( there and back) plus a little left over (maybe to help with a trip to the moon).
Hope this helps.

A trillion... that's a lot.
I know a nice one for a million vs a billion, want to hear it?
A billionaire, e.g. Bill Gates, can't stand his wife anymore. He gives her a million dollars and tells her to spend $1000 a day.
She lives in hotels, travels, does whatever she wants... until the money runs out, 3 years later, and she goes back to her husband.
So he gives her a billion dollars and tells her to spend it as she did before.
She hasn't been back for 3000 years.
