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. A full deck of 52 playing cards 94 g

   Shuffle properly and you have almost certainly created an ordering of the deck no human in history has ever seen before.

4. An adult male giraffe 1.2 t

   A giraffe's heart generates about double the blood pressure of most mammals to push blood two meters up its neck to the brain.

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 Antonov An-225 Mriya cargo plane at maximum takeoff weight 640 t

   The heaviest aircraft ever built was destroyed in Ukraine in 2022; 'Mriya' means 'dream' in Ukrainian.
