DNA if stretched to it's fullest could reach to the moon and back 100 times.
If we stretch the DNA strand in a human cell, it can reach about 6 feet in length. Since the Earth's circumference is about 24,901 miles, a single DNA strand from a human cell could circle the Earth around 7,412,320 times.
If you were to stretch the DNA from a cell out, the strand would be about 6 feet long.
A cell DNA from one cell can stretch 6 feet
The instructions for a particular protein are contained on a stretch of DNA known as a gene.

To the moon and back three times
Exons
It would stretch for 24,901.55 miles.
You have about 10 trillion cells in your body, so if you stretched the DNA in all the cells out, end to end, they'd stretch over 744 million miles. The moon is only about 250,000 miles away, so all your DNA would stretch to the moon and back alomst 1500 times. The sun is 93,000,000 miles away, so your DNA would reach there and back about 4 times!
