The size is different for each animal. The human DNA's length is:

If completely unraveled, human DNA would stretch from the Earth to the Moon.

If you stretch it and not unravel it, the distance is on average about 6 ft. (2 m) long, but is a very thin thread.

The single human chromosome on average consists of DNA molecules approximately 2 inches long.

The Physics Factbook [see link below] gives the formula of:

"The length is (length of 1 bp)(number of bp per cell) which is (0.34 nm)(6 × 109)"

How long strands of double helical DNA fit into the nucleus of a single cheek cell?

The DNA in a single cheek cell is typically around 1.8 meters long when fully extended. To fit into the nucleus, this long DNA strand is tightly packaged and coiled around proteins to form chromatin. This allows the DNA to be efficiently stored and organized within the limited space of the nucleus.
