I am wondering if there are like what 6.5 billion of people live on this planet. That is a lot of people. so just how big it is this planet to fit that many people. Not only humans, but animals too living on land...interesting.

What about people that died and get buried? just how big is the space to bury that many people? then there is population growth around the world too...

not only are there lots of people in this world, but most people live in house which also take up spaces too. then there is road, buildings, street, farm, factory, etc. speaking of farm, some farm takes up acres and stuffs.

so say this planet is big and still have a lot of space left for more population. so for how many more years eventually will people run out of space to live?

i just realize something, i never thought of this before, but now i just realize how did people figure out there are a little over 7 billion of people living in the world. that is what is said on wikipedia.

what method did they use to find that out that there are 7 billion of people living in the world? is it accurate?

i remember back in the late 1999, i got curious and check the world population and i remember some website, i think its the cia factbook or something and it claims that there are about 6.2 billion of people living in the world. that time i never thought how did they figure that out? even if there are that many people living around the world, do you just go and count one person by person? wouldn\'t that take forever and you might get miscount?

if they check the birth certificate and death certificate. again, shouldn\'t that also take a long time to count certificate to certificate. what about poor countries say like some countries in africa are poor. they probably don\'t have birth or death certificate?

so, again, what method did they use to count living and and death people in this world? did they count them day by day? and how accurate is it?

Countries check with censuses. Those numbers are then added together to make the world population count

You never got an a thing in the mail? A knock on your door?

maybe back in year 2000 my mom probably got this census paper? if you say a knock on my door, how many houses do people have to go? multi-millions? am i missing something?

say even if they received multimillion papers, how long does it take them to put in the computer? what about people that might not receive it and people who might lied on the census paper? or people who are bored and make-up the lied on the census paper?
