Both marked spans share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its proportions; poses and surface detail are illustrative.
A little perspective
The length of 2 inches is about 1.02 times the defined fruit diameter of Plum.

2 inches

Plum
A defined medium raw plum 5 cm across and 66 g in mass. Cultivar, ripeness and growing conditions vary; stem and leaves are excluded from the fruit diameter.
USDA FoodData Central — raw fruit portions
The marked defined fruit diameter is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

- Comparing
- Length ↔ Defined fruit diameter
- Relative size
- 2 inches is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.02. 2 inches's selected measurement is approximately 1.6% greater than Plum's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Plum uses a 5 cm central value within a recorded range of 3.5 cm–6.5 cm.
- Plum is labelled defined specimen; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
