(A quick estimate for a mile-high mountain of solid granite with a two-mile diameter base gives me about 12 billion tons.)
"Nobody knows how much a mountain weighs, whether it's trillions, quintillions, or octillions of tons."Given that the mass of the earth is about 6x1021 tons, and an octillion is 1027, I'm gonna veto "octillions of tons". The sun weighs two octillion tons. *sigh*
