Both marked spans share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its proportions; poses and surface detail are illustrative.

A little perspective

The defined seed diameter of Chickpea is about 1.12 times the length of 8 millimetres.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.

A defined dry chickpea 9 mm across and 300 mg in mass. Cultivar, grading and moisture change both values.

The marked defined seed diameter is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Comparing: Length ↔ Defined seed diameter
Relative size: Chickpea is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.12. Chickpea's selected measurement is approximately 12.5% greater than 8 millimetres's.

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

Chickpea uses a 9 mm central value within a recorded range of 7 mm–1.1 cm.
Chickpea 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.
