As of 2024, the estimate for the population of the Earth is at 8.2 billion people. This is a massive number and one that is expected to grow over the years.
As of 2024, India is the most populated nation with about 1.45 billion people. China is a close second with 1.42 billion people currently. There is then a large drop-off, the USA is the 3rd most populated nation with just 345 million people.
The USA believes we reached 8 billion people on Earth on November 15th, 2022. This day is often called the day of eight billion.
It is estimated that 100 years ago there was about 2 billion people on Earth. There are issues with tracking population back in the early 1900s, so this figure is an estimate and not confirmed.
According to the United Nations, in 2050 there will be about 9.7 billion people on Earth.
There is no way to tell just how many people Earth can support. There are far too many factors to make an accurate decision, however, there has been an estimate made in the past that Earth can support 13.4 billion people.
With the current population being about 8.2 billion people, 1% of the population would be 82 million people.
