It really depends on what dinosuar.

Dilophosaurus was a man-sized dino. They were actually about the size of a large dog. Although, the gigantic and famous Tyrannosaurus Rex and Brachiosaurus were huge mostlikely because it had to find food at different places. So, yes, genetics played a big role in the size of dinos and evolution of the needs. So the Brachiosaurus could reach leaves off of high trees. But, like I said before, not ALL dinosaurs were big.

Are there people living in dinosaur era?

No, unless you consider birds dinosaurs (some people do; dinosaurs and birds form a clade).Science says dinosaurs (of the sort normally meant by "dinosaurs", i.e. not birds) became extinct tens of millions of years ago; humans have been around for maybe a couple of millions of years tops, and that's if you're exceptionally generous with your definition of "human".Some creationists think dinosaurs must have coexisted with humans, but there's one big problem with this: the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs, or anything like dinosaurs, hanging around in Genesis anywhere. Some people play games with the wording of the second sentence of Genesis and put dinosaurs in the time between "God created the heavens and the earth" and "The earth became without form and void." In this case they were still gone before humans arrived on the scene.

What was the earth's atmosphere like?

The early chemistry of the atmosphere can be deduced by studying the oxygen, CO2, nitrogen etc that is chemically bound in the rocks.e.g. in the oxides, carbonates and so on. Another wee trick is that at different temperatures, the ratio of the isotopes of oxygen alters, so by measuring the 16O to the 18O, the temperature may be inferred.

Are hens dinosaurs?

Yes (WITH A BIG MAYBE ATTACHED) The difference between certain therapod dinosaurs and birds is very small. Every feature we use to describe birds (beak, feathers, wings) first evolved on dinosaurs. In fact the morphology between birds and the raptor family of therapod dinosaurs is so similar many scientists to call birds avian dinosaurs.
