Bar length measures mass, not physical size. Both bars start at zero kilograms (kg). Pictures identify the objects only.
A little perspective
150 kilograms is about 1.03 times the suited mass of an adult in a spacesuit.
Mass: 150 kg; definition.
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Defined suited mass: 145 kg; defined specimen; range 130 kg–160 kg.
A defined standing astronaut 1.9 m high and 145 kg while wearing an extravehicular spacesuit and life-support backpack. Suit configuration and wearer vary; mass is not weight and the helmet top defines the calibrated height.
The marked defined suited mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
