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 ruby-throated hummingbird 4 g

   It crosses the Gulf of Mexico nonstop — about 800 km — burning nearly half its body fat in a single 20-hour flight.

3. A AAA alkaline battery 11.5 g

   Despite the tiny package, a fresh AAA stores enough energy to hoist an adult human several meters into the air.

4. 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.

5. 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.

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'.
