After a billion , the next large number is a trillion. Here’s a quick overview of the sequence of large numbers in the short scale (used primarily in the United States and most English-speaking countries):

  • Thousand = 1,000 (10^3)
  • Million = 1,000,000 (10^6)
  • Billion = 1,000,000,000 (10^9)
  • Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 (10^12)
  • Quadrillion = 10^15
  • Quintillion = 10^18

So, after a billion (10^9), comes a trillion (10^12). If you want, I can provide more details or explain the long scale numbering system as well!
