Measurements, assumptions & sources +
Balance bicycle
A defined child-sized balance bicycle 86 cm long travelling at 4 m/s. It has no pedals, chain or training wheels; product dimensions and rider speed vary.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked defined overall length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Luna 2
Luna 2 used an approximately 0.9 m spherical spacecraft bus and had a mass of about 390.2 kg. Antennas and scientific booms extend beyond the calibrated body diameter.
The marked spherical bus diameter is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why we use 86 cm
For comparison, this page uses defined overall length. This is labelled defined specimen: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value. The recorded range is 80 cm to 92 cm.
