By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A kiwi fruit 75 g

   Originally China's 'mihoutao', it was rebranded by New Zealand exporters in 1959 after their flightless national bird.

2. 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.

3. A standard Good Delivery gold bar, the kind in bank vaults 12.4 kg

   Smaller than a brick yet heavier than most pet dogs — gold is so dense this bar would fit in a shoebox with room to spare.

4. An upright piano 220 kg

   Inside is a cast-iron plate holding strings at a combined tension of roughly 18 tonnes of pull.

5. An adult blue whale 140 t

   The largest animal ever known has a heart the size of a small car, and its calves gain roughly 90 kg per day on milk alone.

6. A Saturn V rocket, fully fueled for a Moon launch 3K t

   Apollo crews rode atop a small warship's worth of kerosene, hydrogen, and oxygen — most of it burned within minutes.
