What will be size of Encyclopedia , if it is made from Wikipedia.org ?
Recently Wikipedia completed 10 years, giving us free Information about all everything serving as online Encyclopedia.
Do you ever thought that If Encyclopedia is made from Wikipedia site, What will be its Size?
Lets Check the number of pages of that Book
- Today Wikipedia has information of over 1.74 billion words in database.
- A word document page holds approx. 500 words (single spaced).
- So divide 1.74 billion by 500 words you get 3.48 million pages....
- If you make a book out of computer/ printer paper then the book would be 1370078.740 inches==21.6 miles thick and 8.5" x 11" in length and height.
(that's very very big)
