How to read the visual
The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.
- We use 90 g for the mass of a boomerang; the recorded range is 60 g–150 g.
- The mass of a boomerang: 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.
