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
