By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.
- A large chicken egg 57 g
An eggshell has up to 8,000 microscopic pores, letting the developing chick breathe right through the shell.
- A standard car tire, without the rim 10 kg
About a quarter of a tire's mass is not rubber at all — it is steel belts and textile cord hidden inside the carcass.
- An average adult human, averaged across the whole world 62 kg
Researchers computed this from global census data; North America's average is about 20 kg heavier than Asia's.
- A Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle 365 kg
Harley once tried to trademark its V-twin engine's 'potato-potato' exhaust rumble, then dropped the case in 2000.

'Sue', the most complete T. rex ever found, sold at auction in 1997 for $8.4 million and now has its own social media accounts.
