After a trillion, a quadrillion comes next.

 

One trillion seconds ago – 31,688 years – Neanderthals stalked the plains of Europe.
 

if you laid out a Trillion one dollar bills or Scottish pound notes end to end that will take you almost 4 million miles past the sun 
 

It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.

if you counted one per second for  a trillion seconds it will take you  32,000 years

The country has not existed for a trillion seconds. 
Western civilization has not been around a trillion seconds.


the pentagon announced that they had mislaid two trillion dollars the day before 9/11

amazingly !! the offices with the accounts in  were hit by plane / missile  and never investigated ???


 

A trillion is written as 1,000,000,000,000

A trillion pounds is so large a number that only politicians
can use the term in conversation.

even then the numbers can  mean hugely differing amounts [so make sure they say how many zeros ]

 

 

As it was until 1974

American    English
thousand thousand
million million
billion thousand million
trillion billion
quintillion trillion
sextillion thousand trillion
septillion quadrillion
octillion thousand quadrillion

                      

however
 In 1974, the government of the
 
UK switched to the short scale, a change that is reflected in its mass media and official usage.

since then the uk and the united states use the same [but you have to watch them ]

 

so this is based on the short scale system

 

For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, the United Kingdom uniformly used the long scale, while the United States of America used the short scale,[ see  diagram] so that the two systems were often referred to as British and American
