Answer:

200 zeros

Explanation:

1 googol is the number 1 followed by a hundred zeros, right? Right. Using 'Laws of Indices', for instance, 10^2=100, ie 10×10=100. The number of zeros will always be the sum of the number of zeros of the multiplier and multiplicand. More example, 100×100=10000. So, I think it's reasonable to say that 1 googol×1 googol= the number one followed by two hundred zeros ‍♀️
