Ant Weight Calculator
How many ants would it take to lift your weight? Find out with this fun calculator and learn surprising facts about the strength of ants.
Weighs ~1-2 mg, lifts 10 to 50 times its weight
You would need approximately
2.3 million
common ant ants to lift 70 kg
Visual equivalences
Football stadiums
That would fill approximately 65.4% of a stadium at 500 ants per m²
Ant colonies
You would need approximately 8 complete colonies (300,000 ants each)
Total weight of the ants
These ants would weigh 3.50 kg together (much less than what they lift!)
Calculation detail
Ant weight: 1.5 mg
Lifting force: 20× its weight = 30 mg = 0.0300 g
Number = 70 kg ÷ 0.0300 g = 2.3 million ants
Did you know?
If all the ants in the world were placed on a scale, they would weigh as much as all humans combined.
