If you mean "how big is an acre in terms of something I'm familiar with", it's a bit smaller than an American football field (a football field is about 1 1/3 acres counting the end zones, or about 1.1 acres if you count only the part between the goal lines).
If you want an exact measurement, an acre was originally defined as a parcel of land one furlong (220 yards) wide and one chain (22 yards) wide.

Can the population of the world fit into the state of Texas?
The world has a surface area of 510.072 million sq km. Well clearly we can not live any where on the surface of the world as the majority of it is water 361.132 million sq km. The remainder is the land mass 148.94 million sq km. So what is the population of the human race? Estimate is currently at 6,525,170,264 (July 2006 est.). Now let us do some translations. For every 148 sq km you get 37,000 acres of land. 37,000 acre = 148 sq Km meaning that the world has about 3.68*10 to the 10th Acres of land. I will be using 37,000,000,000 acres for the math below. Now if you were to split that land up between all the people of the earth and gave each one a share each would get 5.67 acres of land. 37,000,000,000/ 6,525,170,286 = 5.67 acres per person That does not sound like a lot does it? Some may say "Much of the land is unlivable" and they are right so let look at a area where we could make it nearly totally liveable. The Great State of Texas. Texas has a surface area of 261,797 square miles. 1 square mile = 3,097,600 square yards = 640 acres 640 * 261,797 = 167,550,080 acres in Texas According to http://hunterkirk.livejournal.com/326561.HTML "Now lets say we move all the people of the world to the state of Texas. They would each get only .02568 acres of land. 167,550,080 / 6,525,170,286 = .02568 acres per person That does not sound like a lot. But wait how much is .02568 acres? 1 acre = 4,840 square yards 4,840 * .02568 = 124.29 square yards 1 square foot = 1/9 square yard 124.29 * 9 = 1,118.61 square feet Thusly if we moved every living human to Texas and the split the land among them they would each get 1,118.61 square feet. Now you may say that still does not sound like a lot. But consider the average square footage of a house."
