Putting the Size of the Observable Universe in Perspective. The age of the universe is about 13.75 billion years. The diameter of the observable universe is estimated at about 28 billion parsecs (93 billion light-years). As a reminder, a light-year is a unit of length equal to just under 10 trillion kilometres (or about 6 trillion miles).
The observable universe is approximately 90 billion light years in diameter and the Earth is approximately 12000km in diameter. Let's assume that a grain of sand is 0.5mm in diameter. If we shrink the Earth down to the size of that grain of sand it would become 1/24000000000 (one 24 billionth) its original size. The observable universe, shrunk down by the same factor, would become 3.75 light years in diameter.
