The following table lists various orders of magnitude for momentum.
| Factor (N s) | Value | Item |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 5.83 N s | A fast baseball pitched in the major league.[1][2] |
| 6.52 N s | Planck momentum, the unit of momentum in the system of Planck units | |
| 101 | 95 N s | An average person walking at an average walking speed |
| 104 | 27000 N s | A small car on a city street[3] |
| 108 | 1.1×108 N s | A cruising Boeing 747, with passengers and baggage.[4][5] |
| 1029 | 1.78×1029 N s | Momentum of the Earth[6][7] |
| 1061 | 1.8×1061 N s | Largest possible momentum, with the mass of the observable universe moving at the speed of light.[8] |
