Buuut for those too lazy to make their own solution, let's dive:

Let the thickness of paper be $X$ .

Then, generally, the number of folds will be as follows:

$X\cdot 2^F=D$ ,

where $F$ is the number of folds and $D$ is the distance to be folded over. (because if we take an object of thickness $X$ , the distance $D$ covered by the folds will double per fold $F$ .)

For our problem,

$X\cdot 2^{103} =\frac{92,000,000,000\cdot 300,000\cdot 3600\cdot 24 \cdot 365 km}{2^{103}}\cdot 1,000 \cdot 1,000$

(1000*1000 for km to meters to millimeters).

Some Wolfing Around

reveals that the thickness of the paper should be approx. $0.0858$ millimeters.

So now we need to find how many folds to the Moon from Earth. Easy peasy:

$0.0858mm\cdot 2^F=384,400,000,000mm$

Some Wolfing Around

s

will reveal, that $\boxed {F=42}$ . (I'm sure we could... jump to the Moon for the other 0.02 folds. Or be pulled by it. Yeah. Be pulled by it :))
