Sensible Units

The purpose of Sensible Units is to make units of measurement understandable. It takes a quantity with a scientific unit and turns it into several quantities with sensible units, like elephants, buses and Great Walls of China.

For example, 1 lb equals 3 human kidneys, 8 tennis balls, and 3.2 wireless computer mice. And 100,000 miles equals 24 Great Walls of China, 25 Amazon rivers, and 4 Earth equators.
