Issue 364 | Page 18 | Published Mar 2017
Description
We are pretty good at giving ideas of scale when the objects are about human size: a finger is about 1 cm wide, an arm-stretch is about 1 m, a Smartie weighs about 1 g, a small apple weighs about 100 g and is attracted to the Earth with a force of about 1 N. It is a bit harder when talking about moles.
