Where it sits
Among the 23 buildings & towers on this page Statue of Liberty ranks 21st from the top by size. The largest in the group is Burj Khalifa at 828 m, which is 8.9× the size of Statue of Liberty, while the smallest, Christ the Redeemer, is 30 m.
Stand an adult of 1.7 m beside it and the ratio is 54.7×: you would need 54 people stacked head to foot to match its size.
In everyday distances
It fits inside a football pitch 1.1 times over — a pitch is about 105 m and Statue of Liberty is only 93 m.
Walking at an easy 1.4 m/s you cover 93 m in 66 seconds. A jet at 900 km/h covers it in 372 milliseconds.
Next to its neighbours in size
The nearest thing larger than it in this collection is Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower) at 96 m (315 ft), 1.03× the size. Both figures are the same kind of measurement, so the gap is a fair one.
The nearest thing smaller is Boeing 747-8 at 76.3 m (250 ft), so Statue of Liberty is 1.22× as big as it. They come from different groups — vehicles & ships against buildings & towers — which is what makes the pairing interesting.
Against fixed yardsticks
Against three fixed yardsticks — Eiffel Tower (330 m) is 3.55× the size of Statue of Liberty; Statue of Liberty is 3.11× the size of blue whale (29.9 m); Earth (12,742 km) is 137,011× the size of Statue of Liberty.
How this figure was taken
Building heights depend on the rule used: architectural height counts spires but not antennas, tip height counts everything. The basis is named with each figure.
How the sizes are taken. Each figure says what it measures — height, length, diameter or elevation — and for which individual or convention. Everything is drawn standing upright on one baseline so a single scale holds, including things that are long rather than tall. Values come from the linked Wikipedia article for each item.
