Got it. The sun is big. How much dust is in a cubic light year?
That's a lot of space. Let's see, if we use the local average dust density of 1×10-16 kilograms per cubic meter…
It comes out to 8.468×1031 kilograms, the mass equivalent of 42.574 suns.
When you said there was a lot of dust out there, that was quite the understatement.
Would it have helped if I said a whole lot?
