One stage pixel is ca 1,000 km². The paper is visualized as a stack of paper rather than a huge folded sheet, just to illustrate the thickness.0 Of course, this is just a thought experiment, ignoring all the practical problems one would have to deal with in practice. The current Guinness World Record for most times to fold a piece of paper in half is 12. Before that, the record was 8. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/494571-most-times-to-fold-a-piece-of-paper The images are from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon
