Are all chainrings the same size?
Rings are supplied with different sizes with different amounts of teeth. The more teeth, the bigger the chainring. The number of teeth affects how much effort is needed to turn the pedals. The larger the chainring the more rotations of the rear wheel you’ll achieve by a single rotation on the front chainring.
