Is a trillion a thousand billion?

Yes, if you are an American.

The prefixes tell us how many thousands there are:

bi= 2 sets of thousands 1,000,000,000
tri= 3 sets of thousands 1,000,000,000,000
quad= 4 sets of thousands 1,000,000,000,000,000
quint= 5 sets of thousands 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
etc.

It you're a Brit, a billion is a million million, go figure...

It is in the US. In most of Europe a trillion is the same as our billion billion.
