How many atoms could fit, tightly packed,into an object the size of the solar system?

An atom is a mere millionth-trillionth-trillionth of a cubic meter in volume (0.000000000000000000000000000001 cubic meter).The solar system is a thousand-trillion-trillion cubic meters in volume (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).How many atoms could fit, tightly packed,into an object the size of the solar system?

Depends on how tightly you pack them. Current big bang theories extrapolate the entire universe into a much smaller space.

Well... divide the second number by the first. It will help if you use scientific notation.
