the claim

Scaling an apple to the size of the Earth makes its atoms the size of the original apple

the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that scaling an apple to the size of the Earth makes its atoms the size of the original apple?

This claim is a classic scaling analogy that correctly illustrates the vast difference in scale between atoms and macroscopic objects; no citation is needed as it is a matter of basic mathematical proportion.

The analysis

The claim asks to verify a classic volumetric scaling ratio (the ratio of an apple to the Earth is roughly the same as an atom to an apple). This is a straightforward mathematical proportionality test (powers of ten) common in physics education and everyday observation of scale. Per the instructions, trivially true comparative statements or well-known proportional analogies of this type are classified as COMMON_KNOWLEDGE, requiring no retrieved papers.
