By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. A 16-inch MacBook Pro 2.2 kg

   Apple's obsession with grams runs deep: the original 1989 Macintosh Portable weighed more than three of these.

4. An adult male African lion 190 kg

   A lion's roar can be heard up to 8 km away, thanks to uniquely flat, square-shaped vocal folds.

5. An adult male orca 5 t

   Orcas are actually the largest species of dolphin, and each pod hunts with dialects and techniques passed down like culture.

6. The International Space Station 420 t

   Assembled over 42 flights, it circles Earth 16 times a day at 28,000 km/h, so its crew sees 16 sunrises daily.
