Atoms in the Human Body

Atoms are the smallest things known to humanity, and the human body is just riddled with them. In other words, the amount of atoms in the human body is more than a billion times more than the amount of people on Earth.

The amount of atoms in our bodies is approximately 7*10^27 atoms. Basically, 7 and 27 zeroes. That number, for reference, looks like this: 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. In addition, 99% of these atoms have
six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Around 0.85% is made up of
five other elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.
