1×1014

1×1014 is commonly read as one times ten to the fourteenth power. In standard notation this is written as 1 × 10^14 and it equals 100,000,000,000,000 (one hundred trillion). In plain-text contexts, ASCII forms such as 1e14 are also used; the form 1×1014 can be ambiguous and is usually best avoided to prevent misinterpretation.

Common contexts for 10^14 include both measurements and counts that are large but not astronomical. For example, 1×10^14 meters is about 0.01 light-years, roughly 668 astronomical units from the Sun, illustrating the scale of interplanetary to interstellar distances. In time, 1×10^14 seconds is about 3.17 million years, a scale relevant to geological or cosmological timescales. In data and materials, powers of ten provide convenient benchmarks for orders of magnitude, such as counts of particles, atoms, or bytes.

Relation to prefixes and unit scales: 10^12 corresponds to the prefix tera-, and 10^15 to peta-. There is no official SI prefix for 10^14, though it lies between tera and peta in common usage. In data storage, 10^14 bytes is about 100 terabytes. Thus 1×10^14 serves as a useful reference point for discussing large quantities across science and engineering.
