Bananas for scale

From http://imgur.com/a/zLq1m

Suppose a banana weighs 4 oz and is 6 inches long. As previously shown, 240 billion pounds of bananas were produced in 2009, meaning we're using a base of 840 billion bananas. (240gigabananas/4oz x 16oz/lb / 4oz/banana = 840gigabananas or 840 billion bananas)

One light year is about 5.88 trillion miles, or as used in this case: 5,878,499,810,000 miles

5,878,499,810,000 mi/ly x 5280 ft/mi = 31,038,478,996,800,000ft/ly

31,038,478,996,800,000ft/ly x 12in/ft = 372,461,747,961,600,000 in/ly

372,461,747,961,600,000 in/ly / 6in/banana = 62,076,957,993,600,000banana/ly

OR

31,038,478,996,800,000ft/ly x 2banana/ft = 62,076,957,993,600,000banana/ly

It would take 62,076,957,993,600,000 bananas to span 1 lightyear.

It would take 155,192,394,984,000,000 bananas to span 2.5 lightyears, the distance across a cross-section of the Cone Nebula.

155,192,394,984,000,000 bananas needed / 840,000,000,000 bananas/yr = the product of 184,753 years worth of bananas (supposing bananas are steadily produced at the same rate annually)

Send me any corrections if you should find them. I'm just one person. Thanks!
