The typical red or black ant weighs about three to five milligrams (0.003 to 0.005 grams) on average. Ants are so tiny that you can't even feel when they're on you until they touch your skin or bite.
A typical shooting guard or small forward in the NBA weighs about 100 kilograms and is maybe 2 meters tall. A worker ant in my office looks to be about 2 mm long.
So, it is about 1/1000 as long as a human. Volume is distance cubed, so an ant's volume would be 1/(1000*1000*1000) compared to ours, assuming that the aspect ratios are roughly similar. Now, take 100 kilograms (10^5 grams) and divide by 10^9, and we get 10^-4 grams, or 0.1 milligrams.
Given that ants are robustly composed relative to most adult human males, they may weigh a bit more. On the other hand, an ant that is 1 mm long may weigh a bit less (0.0125 mg, by pure scaling) so 0.1 milligrams is possible. The queens probably weigh much more.
An ant weighs on average 0.003 grams, while an adult African Elephant is on average 4.6 Tons. This would mean that the elephant weighs 1533180000 (one billion, five hundred and thirty three million, one hundred and eighty thousand) times more than an ant.
Nothing is the absence of weight and therefore does not have a weight to measure.
an ant!
The average lifespan of a fire ant is five weeks. The queen fire ant lays around 1,500 eggs every day.
Ants are capable of lifting objects that can be many times their own body weight. The specific amount an ant can lift varies depending on the species, but in general, ants can carry objects weighing 10-50 times their body weight.
3 milligrams is the weight of an average ant.
yes. the ant can carry things heavier than its weight
An ant's brain is nearly a quarter of its body weight. The average ant brain has 250,000 neurons, meaning the average ant colony of 40,000 ants has the brain mass of one human.
An ant weighs on average 0.003 grams, while an adult African Elephant is on average 4.6 Tons. This would mean that the elephant weighs 1533180000 (one billion, five hundred and thirty three million, one hundred and eighty thousand) times more than an ant.
Nothing is the absence of weight and therefore does not have a weight to measure.
An ant can lift 10, 20, or even 50 times its own weight.
very, very light
an ant!
ant
An ant can lift 5,000 times its own weight.
because a mouse have an average heart rate of 500 beats per minute (bpm), the smaller the animal (or insect) the faster the heart rate so multiply the ant's weight by 107 from the mouse's weight (based on dorman's theory equation on heart rates for animals) the average heart rate would equal to an average between 750-1000 bpm.
No calculation is known for the average weight of all insects together. The average ant weighs 3 milligrams. Ladybugs weigh about 21 milligrams, and the average weight of a dung beetle is 0.75 ounces.
