What is a billion??????

Ok here i am in a great confusion.

What does 1 billion mean in general sense?

I have asked many but what i got is:

In large scale 1 billion= 10^12

In small scale it is= 10^9

How to judge which scale is used by the writer?

or whst is generally interpreted when 1 say a billion.

I am not able to get the idea of large scale or small scale in your post. In general Billion means no. having 9 zero's and Million is having 6 zero's.
