Size of a virus compared to a human cell?

A virus is much smaller than a human cell, typically ranging in size from 20 to 400 nanometers, while a human cell can range from 10 to 30 micrometers in size. This size difference is due to the simpler structure of a virus, which consists of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat, compared to the complex organelles and structures found within a human cell.
