1 Million compared to 1 billion

1 million seconds = 11 days

1 billion seconds = 11,315 days or 31 years. 

A billion is one thousand times larger than a million; there are 1,000 million in 1 billion. This difference is hard to grasp intuitively, but can be illustrated through time or physical representations: 1 million seconds is roughly 11.5 days, while 1 billion seconds is over 31 years. In terms of physical scale, a million dollar bills would make a relatively short stack, whereas a billion dollars in bills would create a stack about 1,000 times taller, according to Quora users.  

This video explains the difference between a million and a billion using time and money:

Mathematical Difference 

A million: is 1,000,000 (six zeros). 
A billion: is 1,000,000,000 (nine zeros). 
To find how many millions are in a billion, you divide: 1,000,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000 = 1,000. 

Illustrative Comparisons

Time:
A million seconds is approximately 11.5 days. 
A billion seconds is roughly 31 years and 8 months. 
Physical Stacks (with a $100 bill being an inch high):
A million dollars would make a stack about 10,000 inches high. 
A billion dollars would create a stack 1,000 times taller, which is about 10 million inches high. 
Distance:
One million centimeters is about 6.2 miles. 
One billion centimeters is approximately 6,213.7 miles.
