@danotoriouznatty: What would the true size of the continent of Africa look like on a map compared to the rest of the world? Great question—this gets at the problem of map distortions. Most world maps you see (like the Mercator projection) distort the true size of land masses, especially as you move away from the equator. That’s why Greenland looks about the same size as Africa on a classroom map, when in reality Africa is about 14 times larger. Here are some real comparisons to give you perspective on Africa’s true size: • Africa = 30.3 million km² (11.7 million mi²) • USA: 9.8 million km² → Africa is about 3 times larger. • China: 9.6 million km² → Africa is about 3 times larger. • India: 3.3 million km² → Africa is about 9 times larger. • Greenland: 2.1 million km² → Africa is about 14 times larger. • Europe (all of it): ~10.2 million km² → Africa is about 3 times larger. One of the best visuals is the Gall-Peters projection, which keeps relative sizes accurate (though it stretches shapes vertically). On that kind of map, you see that Africa absolutely dominates the world in scale. 👉 If you placed countries inside Africa, it could fit: • The U.S., China, India, Japan, Mexico, and much of Europe — all together — and still have room left. #Africa #Maps

Make zero sense. Africa is not country. Then why not compare Africa to the rest of the world size?

Love this PR move for us to think more highly of Africa. How is Africa helping the world right now? Humm.
