Summary

Description
English: Objects of sizes in different order of magnitude.

At 10-32m is thought to exist a foam of twisted spacetime (Quantum foam). 10-24m cross-section radius of 1 MeV neutrinos. 10-22m Top Quark, the smallest quark. 10-20m Bottom and Charm quarks. 10-18m Up and Down quarks. 10-16m Protons and Neutrons. 10-14m Electrons and nuclei. 10-12m Longest wavelength of gamma rays. 10-11m Radius of hydrogen and helium atom. 10-10m Radius of carbon atoms. 10-9m Diameter of the DNA helix. 10-8m Smallest virus (Porcine circovirus). 10-7m Largest virus (Megavirus). 10-6m X Chromosome. 10-5m Typical size of a red blood cell. 0.1mm (10-4m) Width of human hair. 10mm (10-2m) Width of an adult human finger. 1m Height of an infant human being. 10m Argentinosaurus is the biggest dinosaur discovered yet (30 to 35 meters). Human figure is for comparison. In reality humans and dinosaurs didn't live at the same time. 1km Diameter of Barringer Crater in the northern Arizona desert (1186m). 100km (105m) Jamaica Island (235km long). 10000km (107m) Diameter of planet Earth (12,742 km). 108m Moon's orbit (770,000km). 109m Diameter of the Sun (1391400km). 1011m Diameter of the inner Solar System. (600,000,000 km) 1013m Diameter of the Solar System. 1015m Outer limit of the Oort Cloud. 1016m Distance to Alpha Centauri. 1018m Messier 13 globular cluster. 1020m Diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy. 1022m Local Group of galaxies including Milky Way, M31(Andromeda), M33, SMC, LMC and smaller galaxies. 1023m Typical galaxy cluster (2 to 10 Mpc). 1024m Laniakea Supercluster of galaxies. (160 Mpc) 1025m End of Greatness ("Cosmic web" structure). 1026m Diameter of the observable universe sphere.

The entire Universe is larger than 1027m and possibly infinite.
