By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A single office staple 33 mg

   Heavier than a grain of rice — staples are solid steel wire, and a standard strip glues 210 of them together.

2. A single kernel of corn 300 mg

   Each kernel is botanically a complete fruit, and a typical ear carries an even number of rows — most often sixteen.

3. A AA alkaline battery 24 g

   Billions of AA cells are produced worldwide every year, making it the planet's most popular battery size.

4. An adult North American beaver 20 kg

   The largest beaver dam ever found, in Alberta, Canada, stretches about 850 meters and is visible from space.

5. An adult male sperm whale 45 t

   Its clicks reach about 230 decibels — the loudest animal sound on Earth — and a third of its body is one giant sonar-focusing nose.

6. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai 500K t

   The world's tallest building is tall enough to watch the sunset at the base, ride the elevator up, and watch it set again.
