      Size ≠ weight.

      Meteors tend to be much heavier per cubic centimeter (or half-garlic if we’re still avoiding metric) than short-legged dogs or geriatric monarchs.

      The meteor had a diameter of 60cm, a corgis height is listed as around 30cm (and they are about twice as long as they are high), so it roughly checks out.

      Assuming that the Queen weighed 60kg (the internet is vague on that one) and an average Corgi is about 12kg, that would be somewhere around 20 baby elephants in weight.

      Baby elephants per Corgi is also a (now) new unit of density.

      Happy to help.
