Earth: Human / Apple:Bacterium size comparison

1 points| touchpadder | 5 years ago | reply

People are kind-of bacteria of this planet, like bacteria on an apple so I was wondering what are the proportions human:planet / bacterium:apple

Apple diameter: 10cm

Bacterium diameter: 1 micron = 0.0001 cm

Apple:bacterium size ratio 10 / 0.0001 = 100,000

Earth diameter: 12,742km

Human diameter: 1.7m

Earth:human size ratio 12,742,000 / 1.7 = 7,495,294

Earth:Human to Apple:Bacterium ratio difference 7,495,294 / 100,000 ~ 75

A bacterium is 75x more significant to an apple than a human to the planet. 10cm is a large apple and 1um is a small bacterium.

If you think about surface difference it's a significantly larger difference
