By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.
- A medium pomegranate 290 g
A single pomegranate can hold over 600 juicy seeds, called arils, and the fruit stars in myths from Greece to Persia.
- An adult human brain 1.4 kg
It is about 2% of your body weight yet burns roughly 20% of your energy — mostly just keeping billions of neurons ready to fire.
- A full backyard barbecue propane tank 17 kg
The familiar grill tank stores propane as a liquid; on a hot summer day the pressure inside can roughly triple.
- A front-loading washing machine 76 kg
Much of the heft is a deliberate concrete counterweight — without it, the spin cycle would walk the machine across your floor.
- The Eiffel Tower 10.1K t
The iron grows in summer: heat expands the sun-facing side, leaning the top away from the sun and adding around 15 cm of height.
- 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.
