One of the more basic columns, a plain cylinder made of limestone or marble with a square capital on top and no base.
Different from an Ionic column with the scroll like capital
Corinthian columns had a capital with a motif of leaves.
The three types of Greek columns are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. 1. Dorian represents man or male 2. Ionic represents woman or female 3. Corinthian represents the young maiden
Doric style columns.
Yes, you can look in google images and see ionic columns.
The Doric order, one of the classical architectural styles of ancient Greece, does not have a specific weight as it refers to a style of column and its design rather than a physical object. Doric columns are characterized by their sturdy, fluted shafts and simple, unadorned capitals. The weight of a Doric column would depend on the materials used (such as stone or concrete) and its dimensions. Typically, these columns are designed to support significant structural loads in temples and other buildings.
The Lincoln Memorial has columns from the Doric Order made of Greek Architecture.
You can find Doric columns at many of the buildings that were made when the Doric order was the common architecture of the time. The most famous Doric columns would be found at the Parthenon temple.

Doric columns
The Greeks have different types of columns for different types of places. Doric columns were the shortest and plainest, Ionic columns were slightly fancier and taller than Doric columns, and Corinthian columns were the most elaborate and tallest.
The Ancient Greek Society originally used the Doric system of architecture. Original Doric columns stood directly on flat pavement and did not have a base. The Doric system was later adopted by the Romans.
Currently doing Classical Civilisation GCSE, not only did they have Doric style columns (characterised by their rather plain capital (that little ring thing at the top of the column) and lack of entasis/base) but they also housed Double Doric columns in the naos with it's cult statue. I don't why but I find that so cute, they're like mini-versions of the regular Doric Columns. You should check out the Assasin's creed Parthenon and look at their columns, or some artist reconstructions as I can't really put these into words that well. Plus, I'm only at GCSE, this might not be the most informed explanation of their columns. Feel free to correct me if need be
