Greenland shark is about 1.05× longer by these reference values.
These animals are effectively close in maximum-length terms, so measurement uncertainty can matter more than the apparent difference. Greenland shark's weight reference is about 2.3× heavier.

Length bars use upper comparison values and do not show body depth, tail proportion or typical adult size. A long thresher tail, for example, does not equal whale-shark body mass.
THE NUMBERS
Side by side.
WHAT THE DATA CAN SAY
Size is not the whole animal.
Length and weight
Greenland shark is represented by confirmed to about 6.4 m / 21 ft; Great hammerhead by reported to 6.1 m / 20 ft. Age and upper mass involve uncertainty; length is better documented. The comparison uses the largest reported length and a record mass.
Bite evidence
Greenland shark: TuffShark found no defensible species-level bite-force estimate to display. Great hammerhead: Comparative biomechanics exist, but a simple verified maximum is not established here.
Living versus extinct
Both species are living, but record-sized individuals are rare. These upper references should not be read as normal adult size.
Ecology changes the matchup
The age estimate is extraordinary; a dependable bite-force figure is not available. Its wide head is a sensory platform, not just an unusual silhouette.
