How many zeros does an american trillion have?

I think it is slightly different than the European trillion.

@paeiro @Sustainable2050 a factor of 1000. A quarter of Germany‘s GDP, well almost a third. Impressive. Numbers a normal person cannot imagine. How much paper would you need to print it in bills? How much rice are 1.5 trillion rice grains and how many people could get fed with such an amount of rice? I can‘t even estimate.
