How big is a single molecule of Carbon 60?

If you fancy you could express your answer in furlongs, but you don't have to.

Update:

Since it seems 'how big' is to complex a concept for some I'll rephrase.

What are the spacial dimentions of 1 molecule of C60 (Buckminster-Fullerine)

I'll add that I'll not be giving points for expanding upon its composition as I already know that. thanks.

    C60 is a molecule that consists of 60 carbon atoms, arranged as 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons.

    Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by how big.
