You have enough DNA to circle the Earth 4 million times!!

Unbelievable - each of us has enough DNA to circle the Earth 4 million times.

This is how it works:

If stretched, DNA in a single cell will extend to 1.5 metres**

A cell is typically 10 microns (1 micron = 10^-6 m) across
Volume of a cell is of the order of 10^-15 m³

Consider a 100 kg man with density equal to that of water (1000 kg/m³)
Volume of the person is 0.1 m³ (volume = mass/density)

Therefore, there are 10¹⁴ cells - this is 100,000 billion cells and
the length of the DNA is 150 billion km

This is sufficient to circle the Earth 4 million times!

** Human Genome Project has mapped 3 billion base-pairs in a human DNA. If base-pairs are 0.5 nm apart then the stretched DNA would be 1.5 m long.
Earth's circumference is about 40,000 km
