The human retina contains approximately how many cones?

  • A.6 billion
  • B.600 million
  • C.6 million
  • D.600

Answer: C

Correct answer: 6 million

The retina holds roughly six million cones against something like 120 million rods, so cones are outnumbered twenty to one. They are heavily concentrated in the fovea, where the rods are absent altogether - which is why fine detail and colour both depend on looking directly at a thing.
