Why is 16 GB of ram big but 16 GB on an SD card small?

I’m trying to understand this so I can get on with learning for school and buying my own PC components but I’m having a really hard time understanding why these are both the same but different. Please help.

Ram is like a highway. People travel to and from places all day on the road. Meanwhile an sd card is like the neighborhood those cars are from. They have to sit there and aren’t always being used. Some of those cars get used only once or twice a month or less. But they still need space for them.

That’s why you don’t need as much ram, because one is for transit, meanwhile the other is for long time storage.
