The real sizes of some things: 20 examples with comparison!
But the truth is, everything in this world is known in comparison! Human vision is an amazing thing, but, alas, it can not always be trusted. Sometimes, in order to understand the real size of certain, sometimes familiar to us, things, they just need to be placed next to the one whose real size we know for sure. You will be surprised how big or small some objects, phenomena, or creatures actually are, the real size of which we could not guess.
