Attached end-to-end, they'd extend almost from the Earth to the Sun [1].
Placed in a grid, they'd cover an area larger than Wales [2].
Piled on top of each other, they'd reach a tenth the distance to the moon [3].

I am shocked that 1 and 2 are both true. I would have guessed 1 would have implied a much larger area than Wales.
Funny how unintuitive N^2 growth can be :D
