How Big is an Atom?

October 31st, 2009 No comments

Some of you have been asking me, Can we look at atoms under a microscope? The answer is “No”, because atoms are waaaaaay too small to see under an ordinary microscope. How small? Check out this site that compares the sizes of very small objects, and lets you “zoom in” to get a feeling for how small cells and atoms are. You have to zoom all the way in to get to a single carbon atom. It’s hard to even imagine how small that is.
