One cm^3 of water is 1g. Ant's a lot smaller.
- kijin 7y agoAlternatively, 1mm^3 of water is 1mg. Imagine the average ant as the sum of three balls, each measuring 1mm^3. That's 3mg.
- MauranKilom 7y agoWhile a sphere is going to be in the same ballpark, a cube of 1mm³ is presumably easier to imagine.
- projektfu 7y agoExcept an ant looks like 3 spheres
- SiempreViernes 7y agoThe commenter was pointing out that a sphere of volume 1 mm^3 has a diameter of 1.24 mm, while a sphere of diameter 1 mm has a volume of 0.52 mm^3. Meanwhile a cube of side 1 mm has a volume of 1 mm^3.
- asteli 7y agoFor the purpose of this exercise, assume a rectilinear ant.
