As of the current understanding of chemistry, there are 118 recognized chemical elements listed on the periodic table. These include elements found naturally on Earth (up to element 94) and synthetic elements created in laboratories. The question asks for the approximate number existing on Earth, which would encompass both naturally occurring and synthesized elements.
