In English speaking countries there are 9 zeros in six billion.
6,000,000,000
The number six billion is written as 6000000000 or with commas used for clarity, it would be 6,000,000,000. Each zero represents a location of different units:
1st zero is considered the ones column, a number there represents that number times one; e.g. 6 = six
2nd zero is considered the tens column, a number there represents that number times ten; e.5. 20 is 2 x ten = twenty and 26 is twenty-six.
3rd zero is considered the hundreds column, a number there represents that number times a hundred; 300 is 3 x 100 = three hundred and 326 is three hundred twenty-six.
4th zero is considered the thousands column, a number there represents that number times a thousand; e.g. 4000 is 4 x 1000 = 4 thousand.
5th zero is considered the ten-thousands column, a number there represents that number times ten-thousand; e.g. 70,000 is 7 x 10, 000 = seventy thousand
6th zero is considered the hundred-thousands column, a number there represents that number times one hundred-thousands; 500,000 = 5 x 100,000 = five hundred thousand
7th zero is considered the millions column, a number there represents that number times one million; e.g. 8,000,000 = 8 x 1,000,000 = 8 million
In a like manner the 8th zero is ten millions column and the 9th zero is the hundred millions column. Thus 999,999,999 is nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine. Adding one to that pushes you into the billions or 999,999,999 plus 1 = 1,000,000,000 where the 1 is in the billions column; and thus 6,000,000,000 is equal to 6 x 1,000,000,000 = six billion.
I am not sure what the original answer with thirty eight zeros is, but in our usual decimal (base 10) system it is certainly a number much larger than 6 billion. Since the next group of three zeros is trillion and the next after that is quadrillion - the highest I know a name of (though I am sure there are official names above this); I would call it (if preceded by a 6) 6 hundred thousand quadrillion-quadrillion.
Further, even if the original answer were to represent a binary number (base 2) there would be only 32 digits to the right of the leading 1 and not all of them would be zeros.

How many zeros are in a million and a billion?
1 million = 1,000,000 = 10^6, hence six zeros 1 billion = 1,000,000,000 = 10^9, hence 9 zeros
How many zeros are in a biliion billion?
There are 9 zeros in one billion
How many zeros are in 70 billion?
A billion is 1 followed by nine zeros 70 billion thus has 10 zeros 70,000,000,000
How many zeros in 18.75 Billion?
Seven zeros.
How many zeros in 6.6 billion?
6.6 billion = 6,600,000,000 So there are 8 zeros
How many zeros are in 15.195 billion?
Six of them.
How many zeros are in 42 billion?
nine because there are six zeros in a million.
How many zeros in a million in Europe?
six. The million is the same, the billion is different, 12 zeros in Europe. The US billion with 9 zeros is the European milliard.
How many zeros are in a million and a billion?
1 million = 1,000,000 = 10^6, hence six zeros 1 billion = 1,000,000,000 = 10^9, hence 9 zeros
How many zeros is their in a billion?
There are nine zeros in a billion.
How many zeros are in on billion?
how many zeros in one billion
How many zeros are in a biliion billion?
There are 9 zeros in one billion
A billion equals how many zeros?
1 billion has 9 zeros.
How many zeros are there in 90 billion?
In 90 billion, there are 9 zeros. This is because a billion has 9 zeros (1,000,000,000), and when you multiply 90 by a billion, you get 90 billion, which retains the 9 zeros from the billion.
How many zeros are in 70 billion?
A billion is 1 followed by nine zeros 70 billion thus has 10 zeros 70,000,000,000
How many zeros does 16 billion have?
There are 9 zeros in 16,000,000,000 which is 16 billion
How many zeros in 22.5 billion?
There are 8 zeros in 22.5 billion, which is 22,500,000,000
