Summary

Description
English: Electrons are much smaller than protons or neutrons. How much smaller? If an electron was the mass of a penny, a proton or a neutron would have the mass of a large bowling ball. Specifically, the ratios can be taken as about 3.5 kg/2.5 g = 1400 for the ball and penny, vs a 1823-fold difference for 1 amu/1 electron-mass.
