Here is handy table
1 bit = a binary digit
8 bits = 1 byte
1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
One gigabyte of information - about a quarter of the memory of an iPod mini - is the equivalent of a pick-up truck load of paper.
1000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
1000 terabytes = 1 petabyte
1000 petabytes = 1 exabyte
1000 exabytes = 1 zettabyte
1000 zettabytes = 1 yottabyte
1000 yottabytes = 1 brontobyte
1000 brontobytes = 1 geopbyte or is it 1 nisababyte?
1000 geopbytes = is what?
There are rumors on the web that
nisababyte is 1000 brontobytes and a zotzabyte = 1000 nisababytes.
Not sure about it... Any better ideas?
And those who insist that
1 Byte = 8 Bit
1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes
1 Megabyte = 1048576 Bytes
1 Gigabyte = 1073741824 Bytes
can use this byte converter.

Well done on a nice blog More l er. I was searching for information on astronomy for kids and came across your post Brontobyte and rumors about Nisababyte - not quite what I was looking for related to astronomy for kids but very interesting all the same!
Well, it's a new year - in fact it's almost the Chinese New Year. I'm still putting together astronomy lesson plans for the first and second semesters. This year the budget allows us to purchase a new telescope for the science group. That's great so we're still juggling the numbers how to get best bang for the buck! Not the 'big bang' you understand LOL. I'm coming down on the side of the Meade LX200GPS 12" Schmidt-Cassegrain. Let's wait and see.
If you do have a moment, please take a look at my new site on: Astronomy for Kids .
A happy new year to everyone!
