a mol of methane, weighing 16 g, has a volume of 22.4 liters at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

The average cow emits 264 lbs of methane per year on average primarily via the mouth it’s a myth they feet the gas is produced in the rumen in the front of the digestive track. So some crayon eating math as in primary school level.
Lbs to grams... One US point is 453.592 grams
264lbs times 453.592 = 119,748.288 grams per year.
119,748.288 / 365 = 328.0775 grams per day
328.0775 / 16g(mol) = 20.505 miles
20.505mol * 22.4l(stp) = 459.309 liters per day.
Love me some cows but they do burp a lot farts not so much.
Grrr I loath auto complete especially when the damn Google won’t let you disable it.
