My Definitions:
2 trillion Atoms = 1 grain of dust.
10 million grains of dust = 1 pebble.
20 pebbles = 1 stone.
4.7325 stones = 1 rock.
7.128 rocks = 1 boulder.
275.3 boulders = 1 Asteroid
27.687 asteroids = 1 moonlet.
7.6478 moonlets = 1 moon (minimum spec.)
23 and a quarter moons = 1 planet (minimum spec.)
Good as anybody elses !

Sorry, you're gonna have to define an atom. And presumably a molecule too. And personally, I think your definition of 1 stone should be 25 pebbles and you should keep your significant decimal places consistent throughout the remainder of the definitions.
You been smokin'?

Maybe you should make everything a function of PI (3.14159....) atleast that way there is more chance of things been round.
