If Mass of a Block IIR GPS Satellite in orbit (1,080 kg) was a standard unit ...

  • Mass of space debris in orbit around Earth (5.5 million kg)...more would be 5000 x Mass of a Block IIR GPS Satellite in orbit
  • Mass of SpaceX Falcon 9 launch rocket (542,000 kg)...more would be 500 x Mass of a Block IIR GPS Satellite in orbit
  • Mass of an adult male African Elephant (5,350 kg)...more would be 5 x Mass of a Block IIR GPS Satellite in orbit
  • Mass of heaviest weights lifted in Olympic Weightlifting (Clean and Jerk) (274 kg)...more would be 1/4 of Mass of a Block IIR GPS Satellite in orbit
  • Mass of an adult male Bengal Tiger (220 kg)...more would be 1/5 of Mass of a Block IIR GPS Satellite in orbit
  • Mass of Vespa Primavera 50 scooter (108 kg)...more would be 1/10 of Mass of a Block IIR GPS Satellite in orbit
  • Mass of a Southern Cassowary (55 kg)...more would be 1/20 of Mass of a Block IIR GPS Satellite in orbit
