How to read the visual

The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.

  • We use 12 g for the fruit mass of a strawberry; the recorded range is 7 g–25 g.
  • The fruit mass of a strawberry: This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
  • The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.

Mass is distinct from weight: an object’s mass stays the same as gravity changes.
