With one hand, the average male human cannot hold and grasp a Basketball from the top without it falling. The standard basketball is a little over 9 inches in diameter. Given that women will have smaller hands on average, the diameter that the average human can hold and prevent from falling, and this is complete conjecture, should be between 5-7 inches. But first, the average human hand size would have to be determined. With two hands, the largest diameter object the average human could hold would be significantly larger, dependent on the wingspan of the average human, the surface texture and the weight of the object, and the average height and strength of the average human .

How many people on earth were to hold hands in a straight line how long would that be?

There is a little quirk of maths that may assist here. if you increase the diameter of a circle by 1 meter, it's circumference will increase by 1 meter, regardless of it's size. Sooo, I would say that if you take the earth's diameter, and increase that value by the average height of a human shoulder, you may have your answer.
