It's about 20,000,000 times as heavy as a Grain of Rice
The weight of a Grain of Rice is about 0.320 grains.
(conventional; US; long-, medium-, and short-gran varieties; uncooked)
With great differences in variety, the average among a sampling of common short-, medium- and long-grain rices finds that a single grain weighs about 0.320 grains before cooking. A staple through most of human history, archaeological evidence indicates that the earliest rice cultivation was about 11,500 years ago.
It's about 100,000,000 times as heavy as a Grain of Sand

(medium grain)
With tremendous variety in the size of grain and the component material, grains of sand weigh an average of 0.068 grains. In 2007, a team of seven in Myrtle Beach created the world's tallest sandcastle, which measured 15.10 m (49.55 ft) in height.
It's about 150,000,000 times as heavy as a Sesame Seed

It's about 1,500,000,000 times as heavy as a Poppy Seed
The weight of a Poppy Seed is about 0.0046 grains.
(Papaver somniferum)
Fifty percent oil by weight, a poppy seed weighs approximately 0.0046 grains. The true pigment of a poppy seed is brown in color, while the characteristic bluish color is an optical illusion caused by a layer of calcium oxalate crystals refracting light rays.
It's about 8,000,000,000 times as heavy as a Grain of Salt
