- Comparing
- Time ↔ Time
- Relative size
- A song is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 3.5. A song's selected measurement is approximately 250% greater than 1 minute's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- A song is labelled reference interval; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
