Just refer the sites - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers, http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/large.html and http://www.uni-bonn.de/~manfear/numbers_names.php . Before just ending this article I would like to introduce you to the terms Googol and Googoplex.
Googol is a number one followed by 100 zeroes i.e, 10100 and Googolplex is a number one with a googol of zeroes i.e, 10googol 1010100.

what is the rule for the order it goes up in, can you please put this on the website, because why does it go up in that order that needs to be explained.ASAP.
The naming of large numbers is done for every 10 power 3n+3. For example,
n=0 -> 10 power 3 -> Thousand
n=1 -> 10 power 6 -> Million
n=2 -> 10 power 9 -> Billion
So on and so forth. Hope your question is answered.
