By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A house sparrow 28 g

   House sparrows have followed humans to every continent except Antarctica — one pair even nested deep inside an English coal mine.

2. A regulation golf ball 46 g

   The dimples — usually 300 to 500 of them — cut drag so effectively that a smooth ball would fly only about half as far.

3. An adult Chihuahua 1.8 kg

   The world's smallest dog breed is named after a Mexican state and descends from the Techichi, a companion dog of the Toltecs.

4. 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.

5. The Statue of Liberty 204 t

   Her copper skin is only about as thick as two pennies; the green color is a patina that took roughly 30 years to develop.

6. The steel arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge 39K t

   The arch rises and falls up to 18 cm with temperature swings; locals affectionately call the bridge 'the Coathanger'.
