How small is a carbon atom?

 
Here's a fantastic, interactive way of trying to comprehend the relative size of a coffee bean and a carbon atom, and several other things in between. Just slide the slider control to the right slowly.

PS: there are several other equally beautiful interactive applications on that same site. A must for the precocious primary school kid and for slow higher-secondary kids.
