By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A single grain of table salt 60 µg

   Salt crystals are near-perfect cubes because sodium and chloride ions lock into a rigid lattice — about a million grains fit in one cup.

2. A monarch butterfly 500 mg

   Despite weighing less than a paperclip, monarchs migrate up to 4,800 km from Canada to mountain forests in central Mexico.

3. A round loaf of sourdough bread 800 g

   Some sourdough starters are family heirlooms over 150 years old, kept alive by daily feedings of flour and water.

4. A whole pineapple 1.2 kg

   Pineapples take nearly two years to grow, and each plant produces just one fruit at a time.

5. The CN Tower in Toronto 117.9K t

   It held the title of world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years, and its glass floor was the world's first.

6. The supertanker Seawise Giant, fully loaded 650K t
