In the history of the earth, are there more likely to have been more snowflakes, or more grains of sand?

Both of these are theoretically uncountable, according to legend and literature.

Yes, there is sand all over everywhere – near and under the ocean, but also in areas that used to be covered with water. But sand, once made, remains (unless it used for glass or printed circuits).

Snow is pretty ubiquitous as well, but it has the added advantage of being remade time after a time. New snowflakes are made by the millions every minute. They are renewable resources.

So – in the course of history, have there been more grains of sand or more snowflakes?

(my guess is snow…)
