sperm cells are microscopic so they cannot be measured but they are around 1/100000th of a millimetre
The average sperm cell is about 40 microns long.
Adult Male Sperm Whales can be as long as 20 meters. The average size is around 17 meters and they weigh 40 tonnes or more. Adult Female Sperm whales are on an average 11 meters long and weigh around 14 tonnes.
Sperm is a single cell (or rather half of a cell). All cells are the same size. Just because it is a whale, doesn't mean that it's sperm is bigger than (lets say) a human's. Once the whale's egg is fertilised it multiplies exactly the same way as a human - but it just forms a larger baby!
A sperm cell is only a fraction of a millimeter long. Typically a human sperm is about 5 microns long. A micron is equal to one one-thousandth of a millimeter.
There are a number of contenders for the position of smallest cell in the human body. The head of the sperm is on average 5 to 6 micro meters. The flagellum is up to 50 micrometers long. Also some says Granule Cell of the Cerebellum is the smallest cell of the human body it is approximately 4um to 4.5um in size. The size of the RBC also found as around 5 micrometers. In terms of volume most of the scientists suggest that sperm is the smallest cell.
Male sperm whales, on average, are 16-18 meters long. This is 30-50% longer then females, who range from 12-14 meters from nose to tail. At birth, both make and female sperm whales are about 4 meters long (and 1,000 kilograms in weight!) These whales are huge animals!
Adult Male Sperm Whales can be as long as 20 meters. The average size is around 17 meters and they weigh 40 tonnes or more. Adult Female Sperm whales are on an average 11 meters long and weigh around 14 tonnes.

A sperm cell (gamete) is a specialised cell because it only performs one function: to fertilise an egg, and its structure relates to it's function. For example, the sperm cell's long tail helps it swim faster.
