If you were an ant what object would be as big to you as the sun is to a human?

Answer 1

If 'as big' means 'as big as seen' then the answer would probably be the sun-after all we don't see it the right size because of its distance, and neither would ants. So an ant could see the sun the size of a grapefruit, but of course to the ant a grapefruit is larger. Of course this argument is flawed because ants have no eyes. However if you mean compare the actual size of humans and the sun and the actual size of ants and the Sun. The Sun is 1 million km wide. We are approximately 1 1/2 metres. If you say an ant is 1 1/2 cm high you still want something 10,000,000 km wide to compare it with-slightly less than the size of the Earth.

Answer 2

Let's bring some math to this answer.

I'm going to make things a little simpler, to make the maths easier, but it will still be to scale.

an average human, according to Wikipedia is 162.6 cm for females and 175.3 cm for males. I'm going to shift it up slightly to make the maths easier, and say it's 180cm. Sorry, short guys/girls!

Ants vary in size, but I'll make it simple as an average with a height of 3mm.

The sun is 1,391,684 km wide.

In order to find out the end figure, you need to find out how much to scale down the sun.

from 180cm to 3mm (0.3cm) is a big jump, 600 times larger, to be exact.

If you take the suns diameter, and scale it down by 600, you get 2319.473 km. for comparison, Pluto has a diameter of 2,368 km.

Answer 3

If I were an ant, a droplet of water would likely appear as big to me as the sun does to a human. The vastness and scale of the droplet compared to the size of an ant would create a similar sense of awe and magnitude.
