How heavy is 20,900 tonnes?

It's about 1,000,000,000,000 times as heavy as a Grain of Rice
The weight of a Grain of Rice is about 0.0000000210 tonnes.
(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 0.0000000210 tonnes 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 5,000,000,000,000 times as heavy as a Grain of Sand
The weight of a Grain of Sand is about 0.00000000440 tonnes.
(medium grain)
With tremendous variety in the size of grain and the component material, grains of sand weigh an average of 0.00000000440 tonnes. 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 5,500,000,000,000 times as heavy as a Sesame Seed
The weight of a Sesame Seed is about 0.000000003640 tonnes.
(Sesamum indicum)
A sesame seed weighs approximately 0.000000003640 tonnes. The McDonald's Big Mac sandwich, which is well-known for its sesame seed top bun, accounts for the consumption of an estimated 2.01 tonnes of sesame seeds each day.
It's about 35,000,000,000,000 times as heavy as a Grain of Sugar
The weight of a Grain of Sugar is about 0.0000000006250 tonnes.
(a.k.a. white sugar, a.k.a. white refined sugar, a.k.a. table sugar, a.k.a. sucrose, a.k.a. saccharose)
A grain of sugar weighs approximately 0.0000000006250 tonnes. Sugar consumption varies widely by country; the average citizen of the United States consumes about 0.0612 tonnes of sugar each year.
It's about 70,000,000,000,000 times as heavy as a Poppy Seed
The weight of a Poppy Seed is about 0.000000000300 tonnes.
(Papaver somniferum)
Fifty percent oil by weight, a poppy seed weighs approximately 0.000000000300 tonnes. 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 350,000,000,000,000 times as heavy as a Grain of Salt
The weight of a Grain of Salt is about 0.00000000005850 tonnes.
The mass of a grain of salt is approximately 0.00000000005850 tonnes. Salt consumption varies widely by country; the people of the United States consume a combined total of about 57,000 tonnes of salt each year.
It's about 0.000000000000000000000010 times as heavy as The Sun
The weight of The Sun is about 2,000,000,000,000,000,026,575,110,144.000000000000000000000000000000 tonnes.
The sun has a mass of 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (2 octillion) tonnes which represents 99.9% of the solar system's total mass. 98.7% of the sun's mass consists of hydrogen and helium — respectively the lightest and second-lightest elements in the universe.
It's about 0.000000000000000004 times as heavy as The Earth
The weight of The Earth is about 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000.000000000000000000000000000 tonnes.
The mass of the planet Earth is 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000 (5.973 sextillion) tonnes. The element iron makes up about 32% of that mass, or 1,917,500,000,000,000,000,000 (1.917 sextillion) tonnes.
