What size is battery to chassis ground wire?

I did a search and couldn't find anything. Anyone know what size the battery to chassis ground wire is? I'm looking for the gauge of the wire, not the length.

The larger the better. Electrons move from negitive. Your ground is the largest conductor of your car.

Thanks. I'm not looking to replace it, it was just a geez whiz question that I wanted to know the answer.
