It is physically impossible to fold a piece of paper in half more than 8 times.
However, assuming you could do it (though it would be easier to cut the pile so far in half and put one half on top of the other), then:
After 1 fold the stack has 2 sheets
After 2 folds the stack has 4 sheets
After 3 folds the stack has 8 sheets
After n folds the stack has 2^n sheets
After 50 folds the stack will be 2⁵⁰ sheets thick
As each sheet is 0.1mm, the stack will be: 2⁵⁰ × 0.1 mm = 112589990684262.4 mm thick = 112589990.6842624 km thick ≈ 1.126 × 10¹¹ m thick

If you could fold a piece of paper in half 50 times how thick would it be?
In theory, that peice of paper would be thick enough to accomplish the distance from earth to the moon.=================================as i said...in theory. but hypotheticallyit would just be a normal piece of paper that is 0.02cm thick.=================================Answer #2:The paper would still be the same thickness as it was before you folded it.But you're probably asking for the thickness of the big folded wad. Naturally,that depends on how thick the paper is before you start folding it.You haven't mentioned what kind of paper you'd like to use, so I can't actuallycalculate a thickness. All I can tell you is that whatever the thickness of thepaper is, the final folded form will be 250 = 1,125,899,907,000,000 times as thick(rounded to the nearest million times).20-lb bond, widely used for home printers, varies from about 0.0038 to 0.0045 inch thick. If I use 0.004 inch for convenience, and multiply it by the rounded number above, I get(0.004 in) x 250 = 4.5 x 1012 in = 3.8 x 1011 ft = 71 million miles, rounded,or just under 298 times the distance to the moon.(That's if you're careful to squeeze out all the air between the layers after you fold it.)

Its much easier to just buy one but if you are interested in making it then you'll first need a paper as long as you want then chain to be.
