A single strand of hair can be from 18 micrometers to 80 micrometers in width.
According to Wikipedia, it's 18 to 180 micrometres wide, averaging at 80 micrometres.
Oh, I learned this one in High School when Mr. Leyson yanked a hair out of my head in machine shop class and measured it with a micrometer. A single hair is .003 in. or 3/1000 or Three Thousands of an inch thick.

Yes, the width of a human hair is generally larger than a typical cell. Human hair can range from about 17 to 181 micrometers in diameter, while most cells, such as red blood cells, are about 6 to 8 micrometers wide. However, certain cells, like some types of bacteria, can be smaller than the width of human hair.
1 micron = 10^(-6) metres. 1 millimetre = 10^(-3) metres = 10^3 x 10^(-6) metres = 10^3 microns = 1000 microns. Thus 0.1 millimetres = 0.1 x 1000 microns = 100 microns.
Human hair varies in size greatly. A child's head hair can be as fine as 0.05mm. An adult's head hair can be as course as 0.25mm. Adult eye- brow hair can be as thick as 0.3mm. Hair is circular in shape, not flat like grass. Things which are circular or round in shape, do not have 'thickness', they have 'diameter'.The sizes above express the Diameter of Hair. In the Imperial system of measure, human hair varies between 0.002 inch & 0.010 inch Diameter.
It Doesn't As: X=2.5cm which is 2000 times the length of the width of on and that is too small for the human.
The diameter of a human hair does not have a standard value since different people have different hair structures. Your genetic makeup can cause the width of your hair to differ from that of other people. Hair color is also a big factor. Black hair is thicker than is red hair. The weather can also affect the diameter of a hair strand. As the weather gets warmer, the diameter of body hair increases. Age is another factor. Babies and young children have finer hair than adults. As a person grows up, their hair becomes thicker and stronger. Another factor is that, the closer to the root of the hair, the thicker a strand of hair would be. In my research, I have found the diameter of human hair to range from 17 to 181 µm (millionths of a meter)
The width of a human hair is 0.0018 cm.
Eighteen thousandths of a millimeter. 0.0018 cm = 0.018 mm = 18 µm (micrometer) Human hair width actually ranges from 17 to 181 µm. 181 µm is almost .2 mm so you could say "about a fifth of a millimeter for coarse hair"
A human hair typically has a width of about 70,000 to 100,000 angstroms.
the grain of zircon and it is the width of a human hair
the width of a human hair
Some transistors are as big as a bucket, and some are smaller as an average human hair's width.
Approximately 1 million atoms can fit across the width of a human hair.
You would need to line up about 2,500,000 aluminum atoms to match the width of a human hair. This is because the width of a human hair is typically around 70 micrometers, and an aluminum atom is about 0.28 nanometers in diameter.
In a normal human adult, each kidney is about 10 cm long, 5.5 cm in width and about 3 cm thick, weighing 150 grams. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney * =)
what is the width of a page in mm or cm
1 micron = 10^(-6) metres. 1 millimetre = 10^(-3) metres = 10^3 x 10^(-6) metres = 10^3 microns = 1000 microns. Thus 0.1 millimetres = 0.1 x 1000 microns = 100 microns.
The human eye can typically see objects as small as 0.1 millimeters, which is about the width of a human hair.
