The same size, metaphorically-speaking, I assume you're saying. Anything can be anything if you believe it to be true. Your perception is your truth. Maybe Blake intended to compare the very smallest things with the very largest concepts/ideas in order to magnify the gap between them. "To see a world in a grain of sand, heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the plam of your hand, and eternity in an hour," asks (in my opinion) for us to recognize a bigger picture by examining and appreciating all the little pictures.

If the Milky way has 2 hundred billion image voltaic a lot (we could say as a great around quantity) and the universe has a hundred billion galaxies in it, then if the Earth is a grain of sand the universe is our community team of galaxies (approximately 10 million mild years in diameter crammed thoroughly from one end to the different with sand.

No it's the reverse.
Matter is mostly made up of empty space so if you compressed it all the universe would be the same size of a grain of sand!
...
Or if you made a grain of sand go the speed of light it would reach the point of Infinite Mass which is where it expands infinitly!!!

it's all relative, isn't it? To some living beings, a grain of sand IS their universe.

I always pondered the idea of ...What if earth and the planets were just cells and molecules inside of a larger living thing and we were just atoms helping our cell function.

No. That makes no sense. There's no such thing as 'a' universe.
