[Intro]
(You can all chime in)
Is he bigger than a breadbox?
Smaller than London’s clocks?
(You can all chime in)
[Verse 1]
Relatively
What’s the size of me
Standing next to a star
I don’t go very far
[Chorus]
Realize my size
Surprise!
Reminiscent
Of insignificant
[Bridge]
Relative
To take and give
How much space
Do I displace?
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]
[Verse 2]
Relatively
What’s the size of me
Standing next to an ant
Feel like a giant
[Chorus]
Realize my size
Surprise!
Reminiscent
Of overconfident
[Bridge]
Relative
To take and give
How much space
Do I displace?
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Piano]
[Bridge]
Relative
To take and give
How much space
Do I displace?
[Break]
Human Race!
How much space
Can we replace
Or legacy of disgrace?
[Chorus]
Realize my size
Surprise!
Reminiscent
Of overconfident
[Outro]
Human Race!
How much space
A SCIENCE NOTE
To understand the relative size of a human compared to an ant and a star, we can look at some basic measurements and scales:
Human vs. Ant
- Human Size:
- Average height: about 1.7 meters (5.6 feet).
- Ant Size:
- Average length: about 5 millimeters (0.2 inches).
Relative Size:
- An average human is approximately 340 times taller than an average ant.
- If we consider volume, the difference becomes even more pronounced, as the human body is roughly 3403 times larger in volume than an ant.
Human vs. Star
- Human Size:
- Average height: about 1.7 meters (5.6 feet).
- Star Size:
- Sun (a typical star):
- Diameter: about 1.39 million kilometers (864,000 miles).
- Sun (a typical star):
Relative Size:
- The diameter of the Sun is about 818 million times the height of an average human.
- In terms of volume, the Sun is roughly 818 million3 times larger than a human.
Comparison Summary
- Human to Ant:
- Height: Human is 340 times taller.
- Volume: Human is 3403 times larger in volume.
- Human to Sun:
- Diameter: Sun is 818 million times larger in diameter.
- Volume: Sun is 818 million3 times larger in volume.
This comparison shows the vast difference in scales between a human and an ant, and even more so between a human and a star like the Sun. Humans occupy an intermediate position in the size spectrum of the universe, far larger than ants but minuscule compared to stars.
