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 memory for what your computer is doing *right now*. Programs it’s running, things it’s using at this moment.

Card storage is stuff it may access later.

It’s like how, right now, you’re only thinking about a very tiny fraction of *all* the things you have ever seen.
