A little perspective
Peach vs Lacrosse ball: diameter comparison
The fruit diameter of a peach is about 1.1 times the regulation-range diameter of a lacrosse ball.
A peach is a juicy fruit with fuzzy skin and a central stone, grown on the tree Prunus persica.
A lacrosse ball is a solid rubber ball used in the sport of lacrosse, designed to meet official standards for play.
Both rulers start at the same zero and share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its original proportions.

Why we use 7 cm
We compare the fruit diameter of a peach. This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same. The recorded range is 6 cm to 8.5 cm.
A defined medium raw peach 7 cm across and 150 g in mass. Cultivar, ripeness and growing conditions vary; stem and leaves are excluded from the fruit diameter.
