There are approximately 7 x 1027 atoms in the average human body. This is the estimate for a 70 kg adult human male. Generally, a smaller person would contain fewer atoms; a larger person would contain more atoms. On average, 87% of the atoms in the body are hydrogen or oxygen. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen together account for 99% of the atoms in a person. There are 41 chemical elements found in most people. The exact number of atoms of the trace elements varies widely according to age, diet, and environmental factors.
Symbols on California's Flag The once common California grizzly bear (also the official state animal) portrays strength; the star represents sovereignty; the red color signifies courage; and the white background stands for purity.
Each star on the flag represents a state of the United States. The first stars were 13 states and the US flag had 13 stars; now the US has 50 states and 50 stars. The stars & stripes style of the US flag has its artistic merits too. The sophisticated blend of red, white and blue make it an attractive flag and the flag can grow more stars if the US should add another state.
