How Big Is The World In Pixels?

Everything we see around us is made up of thousands or even millions of pixels. Every pixel has its own address and is represented by tiny dots or squares of color.

The word pixel, which is short for picture element, is commonly thought to be the smallest component of a digital image. This is why camera quality is often measured in megapixels, or how many millions of pixels are in every photo the camera shoots. Together, the pixels make an original image and are the smallest component of a digital image. In fact, the very screen you are reading this on uses pixels to display this very sentence!
