How does Excel, with a few relatively big 5MB spreadsheets open, use 2GB of RAM? Isn’t all the data it’ll ever need to process hundreds of times less than that?

This is super ELI5 but maybe it will help. Think of the space that it takes up as being actual volume. The 5MB in the hard drive is like the flat pack that you just bough from IKEA, when Excel loads it up, it follows all the instructions and puts that flat pack together and in the end, you have a few parts left over but can’t believe that the whole thing fit in that small box.
