What measurements does this comparison use?
The reference values used here are 10 m for Whale shark (Length, typical adult) and 12 m for City bus (Length, Selected example). The table links to background sources; natural objects and manufactured variants can differ from these reference values.
How should I read the drawing?
City bus spans about 1.2× as much as Whale shark across the longest side of each drawing. This is a linear scale comparison, not a comparison of mass or volume. For maps, the table reports area; doubling a map’s width and height multiplies its area by four.
