By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A western honeybee worker 100 mg

   To make one jar of honey, a hive's bees collectively fly a distance equal to about three orbits of the Earth.

2. A medium pomegranate 290 g

   A single pomegranate can hold over 600 juicy seeds, called arils, and the fruit stars in myths from Greece to Persia.

3. An adult human brain 1.4 kg

   It is about 2% of your body weight yet burns roughly 20% of your energy — mostly just keeping billions of neurons ready to fire.

4. A Tesla Model 3 1.8 t

   Around a quarter of the car's entire mass is its battery pack, mounted in the floor for a racing-car center of gravity.

5. An adult male white rhinoceros 2.3 t

   The 'white' is likely a mistranslation of the Dutch 'wijd', meaning wide — describing its broad, lawn-mowing mouth.

6. The supertanker Seawise Giant, fully loaded 650K t

   The longest ship ever built could not transit the Suez or Panama canals — or even the English Channel — when fully laden.
