Macroscopic

Macroscopic: Measurable and observable by the naked eye; existence as we perceive it.

For instance, a macroscopic view of a ball is just that: a ball. A microscopic view could be a collection of molecules in the rough shape of a sphere.

In physics, macroscopy is usually taken relative to what one is observing. If one looks at galaxy, a star is a macroscopic entity, even if it's many, many orders of magnitude larger than the afformentioned ball.
