Computer memory works in terms of Bits, Bytes, KiloBytes, MegaBites, GigaBytes, Terrabytes, etc.
One Bit is the smallest allocatable portion of memory. A Byte is equal to 128 bits, A KiloByte to 102.4 Bytes, A MegaByte to 921.6 KiloBytes and so on.
A single character (a letter, number or symbol, including spaces) takes up one Byte of memory
The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." (including spaces and the full stop) takes up 44 Bytes; I.E there are 44 characters in the sentence.
When storing (saving) the sentence into a file, the computer also attributes additional memory for paging and indexing services, so it knows where in the file to find each character in the sentence the next time the file is opened. Also saved into this is the files name and physical location and any custom settings it may contain (for instance if you changed the font size or typeface).
Try it for yourself; type the above sentence into a plain text document and save it. Now examine the properties of the file you just saved. You'll get two separate sets of file-size info. One will read 44 Bytes, the other something like 4,096 Bytes (Or 4 Kilobytes).
Using this difference as an approximate benchmark you should be able to estimate how much memory any given paragraph will take up on disk.
