In fact, it’s a pace so staggering, you may be surprised to plug in your birthday and find out what number you are.

The 7 billionth person will be welcomed to the world on Monday, according to the United Nations, marking a significant moment for earth’s population, which continues to grow at an exponential pace.

Just 12 years ago, the earth was home to 6 billion people, according to the United Nations, and back in the 1960s, the earth’s population measured only half that number — 3 billion.

And in the time of our founding fathers, there were just 1 billion inhabitants on earth.
