Planet Earth is huge: circumference 40,075.017 km (24,901.461 mi); 126 billion acres of land; eight billion residents living in 195 countries. Planet Earth is small: an email can be delivered across the world in seconds; people can shop in stores in other countries from their own living rooms; people around the world can watch the same broadcast simultaneously. Big or small, the people who dwell on planet Earth have become interconnected in a way known as globalization.
