Day to day the population of Earth is increasing more and more. It is harmful for our Earth. In 19th century the population of Earth was more or less 1000 million. But today in 2019 the population of world is about 7.7 billion. There is a large increasement of population in some years. But it is a thinking element that the capacity of the Earth is of 9 billion to 10 billion and now the population of world is 7.7 billion. So after some years it can be cross the capacity limit of the Earth and it can be the cause of the destruction of the Earth. So we must have to take some steps to control the population.
