The world has a surface area of 510.072 million sq km. Well clearly we can not live any where on the surface of the world as the majority of it is water 361.132 million sq km. The remainder is the land mass 148.94 million sq km. So what is the population of the human race? Estimate is currently at 6,525,170,264 (July 2006 est.).
Now let us do some translations. For every 148 sq km you get 37,000 acres of land.
37,000 acre = 148 sq Km meaning that the world has about 3.68*10 to the 10th Acres of land. I will be using 37,000,000,000 acres for the math below. Now if you were to split that land up between all the people of the earth and gave each one a share each would get 5.67 acres of land.
37,000,000,000/ 6,525,170,286 = 5.67 acres per person
That does not sound like a lot does it? Some may say "Much of the land is unlivable" and they are right so let look at a area where we could make it nearly totally liveable. The Great State of Texas. Texas has a surface area of 261,797 square miles.
1 square mile = 3,097,600 square yards = 640 acres
640 * 261,797 = 167,550,080 acres in Texas
According to http://hunterkirk.livejournal.com/326561.HTML
"Now lets say we move all the people of the world to the state of Texas. They would each get only .02568 acres of land.
167,550,080 / 6,525,170,286 = .02568 acres per person
That does not sound like a lot. But wait how much is .02568 acres?
1 acre = 4,840 square yards
4,840 * .02568 = 124.29 square yards
1 square foot = 1/9 square yard
124.29 * 9 = 1,118.61 square feet
Thusly if we moved every living human to Texas and the split the land among them they would each get 1,118.61 square feet. Now you may say that still does not sound like a lot. But consider the average square footage of a house."
No, the population of the world cannot fit into the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of around 268,596 square miles, whereas the world's population is approximately 7.9 billion people, which is far too large to fit in the state.
yes believe it or not standing shoulder to shoulder the worlds population can live in Texas.
No!
Alaska is the US state that could fit the world's population inside its borders.
No, the world's population of 7 billion people would not fit into an area of 1746 square kilometres. This area is equivalent to about 674 square miles, which is not sufficient to accommodate 7 billion individuals.
Texas is roughly 1/3 the size of Antarctica, so Antarctica can fit around 3 times within the land area of Texas.
Scotland is about 79,000 square kilometers in size whereas Texas is 696,000 square kilometers. Therefore, Scotland would fit into Texas about 8.8 times.
The area of Oregon is about 255,000 square kilometers, while the area of Alberta is about 660,000 square kilometers. Therefore, the state of Oregon could fit into the province of Alberta slightly less than three times.
Alaska is the US state that could fit the world's population inside its borders.
everyone in the world would fit in the state of texas.
Massachusetts is 10,555 square miles Texas is 268,601 square miles 25.45 States of Massachusetts will fit in to 1 state of Texas.
four
Virginia does not fit with California, Colorado, or Texas because it is not a Western state. California, Colorado, and Texas could all fit within that definition.
Three States of Texas would fit in Alaska. So the answer is no.
England would probably physically fit into either the state of Texas or Alaska. Alaska is the largest US state by square miles of land.
The Texas Constitution was modeled after the United States Constitution. It was slightly changed to fit the mission of a new state in the United States.
Texas is 268,601 square miles, Ohio is 44,828 square miles therefore 268601/44828 = almost exactly 6 Ohio's would fit in Texas.
Population is how many there are, and ecosystem is how do they fit into the world.
Yes. Texas is approx 2.84 times bigger in area than the UK.
No. People think this because it is the Texas state flower, however, you may mow your own lawn as you see fit.
