Enhanced picture of the multicultural class of Ellen  ... Ellen who .. . the one who writes emails like ants bring their sugar home ? yes ..

Sorry if your monitor isn't large enough .. just use the cursor to the rigth to see the whole class.


Now here is a great example of how our world looks from (far) above .. all the continents in one class room ,

 

Someone any idea with how many we are on this planet ??

yes 6 miljard ... billion in the non metric system countries

now I have a calculation in inches, feet problem 
We have 6.000.000.000 neighbours. Too many to shake hands with in ones lifetime but ... lets give each of us one square meter. that is about 3x3 feet space . barely place to lie down or sleep, but we could arrange share the two pieces with our neighbour.

So the space problem is solved with some cooperative neighbours. and now we know we need only 6.000.000.000 squaremeters or 6000 square kilometers for all of us on this planet ..  I'll try to visualize this place for all of us.. and for the usa: 1 Square Meter - 10.763910 square feet  or better in Kilometers and square miles : appr 2,317 square mile.

Lets compare it with Minnesota, which is appr 400 miles long and 250 miles width, a total of : 87,000 square miles. You now see that fro the total world population we only need 2.6 percent of the land in Minnesota. And Minneapolis is 55 square miles, which means only 40 times the city of Minneapolis.
