I took this formula from other questions similar to this, and it does fit what you are trying to find out!. I hope it helps!.

1!.8 People die each second!
1!.8 x 60 Seconds = 108 People per minute
108 x 60 Minutes = 6,461 People per hour
6461 x 24 Hours = 155,060 People per day
155,060 x 365 Days = 56,597,034 People per year


4!.1 People are born each second!. Now lets work this out!

4!.1 x 60 Seconds = 246 People per minute
246 x 60 Minutes = 14,760 People per hour
14,760 x 24 Hours = 354,240 People per day
354,240 x 365 Days = 129,297,600 People per yearWww@QuestionHome@Com

That's just a statistical analysis, it could be that 6 people die in 1 second, and no one dies for another 13!. But anyway, point is, millions of people die every day for all sorts of reasons!. But millions are born, too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it is like three actually but, it is just an average!. There might have been a time where five people died a millisecond after each other and there might have been a time when no one died for twenty minutes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

sounds about right!. a couple years ago i heard that a person dies every ten seconds and someone is born every five seconds!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I read that a baby is born every 8 seconds so I bet that is true to keep the population even I'm not sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probbably more like every other second!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think how they figure that is they average the deaths in a year and than divide so that is just an estimiate!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, life goes on, and we must live in order to die!. Don't waste time asking, waste time doing!Www@QuestionHome@Com
