The volume of the {{w|observable universe}} is 3.566×10<sup>80</sup> cubic meters. The volume of Earth is 1.08321×10<sup>21</sup> cubic meters. 1.08321×10<sup>21</sup> m<sup>3</sup> ÷ 3.566×10<sup>80</sup> m<sup>3</sup> × 100% ≈ 3×10<sup>-58</sup>%, which is scientific notation for the second of the two percentages, the first being its difference from 100%. | The volume of the {{w|observable universe}} is 3.566×10<sup>80</sup> cubic meters.
