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 western honeybee worker 100 mg

   To make one jar of honey, a hive's bees collectively fly a distance equal to about three orbits of the Earth.

3. A AAA alkaline battery 11.5 g

   Despite the tiny package, a fresh AAA stores enough energy to hoist an adult human several meters into the air.

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. 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. An Ohio-class nuclear submarine, submerged 18.8K t

   It displaces more than some WWII aircraft carriers and can stay underwater for months, limited mainly by the food supply.
