By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A large cast-iron skillet 2.5 kg

   Well-seasoned cast iron is essentially a natural nonstick polymer baked onto metal; some American pans have been in daily use since the 1800s.

2. An average adult domestic cat 4.2 kg

   Cats purr at frequencies between 25 and 150 Hz — a range some studies suggest can promote bone and tissue healing.

3. The FIFA World Cup Trophy 6.2 kg

   Winners only keep a gold-plated replica; the 18-karat original stays with FIFA and gets each champion engraved on its base.

   Researchers computed this from global census data; North America's average is about 20 kg heavier than Asia's.

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.
