Projections have the world population hitting six billion sometime around the middle of next year. Beyond that, it's hard to give you an exact answer. We can tell you that there are approximately 25 more people in the world than there were when you started reading this paragraph. That's because current research indicates that about five people are born every second, while two people pass away, leaving us with a population rate of three new humans per second.\n\nhere I found this site also... this is better and this can show your 8 year old alot more!  Have fun!\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html

Need more info. Are you asking on a daily basis? Are you asking for all of the people that ever lived? I read a while back that it's been estimated that there have been approximately 60 billion people who have ever lived. Sorry if that's not what you were looking for.

There are about 192 countries in the world (but obviously some countries are disputed, and parts of a country are breaking off etc.)\n\nThe largest country by area is Russia and the largest country by population is China.\n\nThe smallest country by area and population is the Vatican City (Holy See) a small country which is more like a city in the middle of Rome.  But none the less, it is an independent state.
