Small and big, slow and fast, light and heavy, high and deep - but compared to what? Browsing through the exciting comparisons, previously known phenomena come into a new light. Try out what it's like when you change your point of view! Measure the world around you!- There are 1386 million trillion liters of water on Earth. About 554 billion of these could fill an Olympic swimming pool.- The giant squid's eyes are almost the size of a soccer ball. It is very useful in the darkness of the deep sea.- The 7 cm hummingbird without a beak makes 385 times its own body length per second, i.e. proportionally faster than a space shuttle reentering the Earth's atmosphere.- A lightning strike heats the air to almost 28,000 degrees Celsius around you: 5 times as hot as the surface of the Sun.- Only the tongue of the blue whale weighs as much as 2/3 of the elephant.
