Orange size grading, like most citrus, is based on diameter and correlates closely with weight, since oranges are fairly uniform in density and water content across size categories.
Edible portion
The peel and pith of an orange account for roughly 20 to 25% of total weight, so a medium 5 ounce orange yields about 3.75 to 4 ounces (105 to 115 grams) of edible fruit segments once peeled.
