Length of DNA from One Human

20.4 BILLION KILOMETERS

If we took all of the DNA in your body and lined it up as a single strand, it would stretch all the way to the Sun and then all the way back to Earth —— 68 times. DNA has a width of about 2.3 nm, which means that if we bunched all of your DNA together into a tight ball, it would be about 108 cubic cm — around the size of a plum.
