Adult human lungs vary greatly among individuals. The average length is 10 to 14 inches (25 to 35 cm) and the maximum width about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm). They are generally a truncated oval shape (an NFL football or Rugby ball), but somewhat smaller in size and narrower. An average weight is 2 to 3 pounds (0.8 to 1.2 kg).

The right lung is actually 30% larger than the left lung. It has three lobes instead of two. On the left side, space is occupied by the heart.
Depends how old the person is. however the left side of your body has 3 lobes and the right side has only 2, to make room for your liver.
The left lung is actually 30% bigger than your right lung, because of the one lobe difference. Lungs are about the size of footballs.
