Common US Party Dress Size Chart For Women blog header.webp

Common US Party Dress Size Chart For Women

The&nbsp;blue whale (Balaenoptera Musculus), <a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/blue-whale" target="_blank">an endangered species</a>, is the largest animal living on planet earth. They can grow up to 100 feet long on average. With that length, they also have extraordinary weight, which can be over 200 tons! Their size is so vast that they can be mistaken for pretty little islands!

As weighing blue whales is not an usual thing to do, we thought to present a direct weights comparison of a blue whale to other animals and things here. Let’s dive into that to know how heavy they can be.

There are records of blue whales of&nbsp;over 190 tonnes (187 imperial tons). However, it’s more common to see them weighing <a href="https://www.marinemammalcenter.org/animal-care/learn-about-marine-mammals/cetaceans/blue-whale" target="_blank">100 to 150 tons or 200,000 to 300,000 pounds</a> on average.&nbsp;

Females of the group are slightly bigger than their male counterparts, <a href="https://www.nhm.ac.uk/bluewhale/ocean/gender-whale/" target="_blank">about 5% larger</a>. Fully grown female blue whales can weigh up to 150 tons. In contrast, a male adult weighs an average of 100-120 tons.

<a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/photography-of-whale-tail-in-body-of-water-804181/" target="_blank"></a>Their weights also differ based on their different regional habitat. For example, female blue whales in the Northern Hemisphere weigh an average of 112 metric tons, and males weigh around 100 metric tons.

Whereas, in the Eastern North Pacific, the weight of female blue whales averages 100 metric tons and males 88.5 metric tons. The Antarctic blue whale size is larger than the other two regions. Females average 130 metric tons and males weigh 112 metric tons.

Then we have Pygmy blue whales, which are considered the smallest ones. For males, the average weight is 75.5 metric tons, and for women, it is 90 metric tons.&nbsp;

For a better comparison, we’ve made an average blue whale size chart with these weights below:

Baby whales (also referred to as calves) average around&nbsp; 2.6-3.5 metric tons (6000-8000 pounds) weight at birth. They grow quick over the next few years. During the first year of birth, they can gain around <a href="https://seaworld.org/animals/all-about/baleen-whales/care-of-young/" target="_blank">200 pounds or 90 kg per day.</a>&nbsp;

Typically, it takes 5 – 15 years for blue whale calves to gain maturity. Though the average age of maturity varies from species to species. Most females can mature between 5-7 years of age, whereas the males’ maturity occurs between 7-10 years.

As the largest animal on the earth, calves are also the largest newborn compared to other animals. This is way more than the average weight of an automobile (about <a href="https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/average-weight-of-a-car" target="_blank">4,094 pounds</a>).

Comparing their weight with other newborn animals has a huge difference. For example, Elephants are considered the largest animal on land. On average, newborn African male elephant calves weigh about 364 pounds, which is over 16 times lighter than blue whale calves!

A comparison chart of blue whale babies with other newborn animals is given below for better visualization:

It’s difficult to imagine the massiveness of blue whales properly just knowing their weight. But we can compare to the weight of other common animals or things for a better understanding.

For example, a Balaenoptera musculus blue whale with a weight of 150 tons is approximately equivalent to 21 large-sized <a href="https://seaworld.org/animals/all-about/elephants/characteristics/">African male elephants</a>!

Image by Ben Phillips from <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/blue-whale-swimming-under-water-4781925/">Pexels</a>

Even some of their organs are the largest ones of any known animal. Big blue whale’s heart, for instance, can grow up to 1,300 pounds in weight! Or their tongue, which can be around 3 tons weight for an adult blue whale!&nbsp;

A blue whale is 1.5 times larger than sperm whales and 4 times more in weight than the aforementioned sperm whales. Even a great white shark is nearly 5 times smaller than a blue whale.

How Heavy Is a Blue Whale Compared to Humans?

We’ve already discussed so many things about blue whales’ weight. Coming to the point of comparing it with humans, we’re like the Lilliputs in front of them!&nbsp;

The largest blue whale weighed around 190 tons, or 380,000 pounds. In contrast, the average adult human weight is somewhere between 130 to 180 pounds (60 - 80 kg). So, an average size blue whale is more likely over 2,154× the size of a human!&nbsp;

Another fact is, blue whale calves attain around 200 pounds a day during their first year. So basically, we can say they grow with the size of a human weight every day! (actually more than that)

Being the largest animal on the earth, blues whales have enormous weight. We might not need to measure their weight in a lifetime. But it’s really fun and interesting to learn.

Blue whale calves drink only their mother’s milk for the first 6 to 8 months. Growing up, blue whales eat krill, but sometimes they eat other sea creatures in their diets as well, such as small crustaceans or fish.

On a typical day, whales can eat up to 4 tons (8,818 pounds) of krill. As having an enormous size, it naturally has to eat this much.

Blue whales prefer to live in the deep ocean. They are rarely seen close to shore. These mammals are found in all oceans (such as the Antarctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean) except the Arctic. They usually live at a depth of 330 feet.&nbsp;That’s the roof of a 33 storied building.

By the name, you can already guess they are heavy. Weighted blankets are used to foster healthier sleep cycles and lessen anxiety. The blanket’s weight is scattered throughout the material instead of in one particular spot. As a result, the blanket doesn’t feel heavy.

Car tires seem lightweight until you pick one up for a tire change. We all remember the first flat tire we got or the first lesson we got. Those are truly cherished memories, despite how exhausting it seemed at that point. Now back to the tire.

A standard passenger car tire weighs between 20 to 22 pounds. The rubber part that surrounds the wheel is usually strong. They are durable and safe for travel. If you can’t imagine, I suggest you try picking one up. You will find a spare somewhere.

If you are an outdoor person, you probably know patio tables. We can set these in smaller spaces and backyards. These tables vary greatly in shape and size. But the smaller patio tables weigh 20 lbs and are more frequent.

A cast aluminium patio table with a table top diameter of 33" weighs about 19 pounds. Cast aluminium makes it quite sturdy and durable against the harshest outdoor weather. The last thing homeowners want is for their furniture to get blown away by the wind. Patio tables can be fitted in any setting. You can set them beside a pool or BBQ station.

The larger outdoor tables weigh over twenty lbs and require professional help for installation and setting.

All the old lawnmowers looked and sounded similar. But now, thanks to modern technology, we have so many new designs and features. Some of them are so high-powered they don’t resemble a lawnmower anymore.

Despite these, the simple push lawnmowers have survived. Gardening enthusiasts like to keep their hands on the mower weighing around twenty lbs. They provide all the gardening features they need. These mowers are easier to use and more eco-friendly. To ensure your lawn mower stays in the 20 pounds weight zone, choose one that doesn’t cross the 16-inch cutting deck.

Shopping carts are a life savior, to be honest. I mean, they literally save you from falling over with all the items.

The hydraulic bottle jacks are used to lift and keep different objects in place. They can lift objects weighing up to 20 tons and more. Impressive, right? And the best part is they weigh only about twenty pounds (lifting capacity 20 tons) when they come with a carrying case. They are constructed from alloyed steel and are quite useful tools for industrial and residential work. These tools are a must when undertaking repair projects.

Knowing common things that weigh 20 pounds is quite important for everyday tasks and safety as well. Whether it’s lifting objects or understanding weight limits, having this knowledge will help you make more informed decisions and avoid strain-related injuries. Stay informed, stay safe.
