Did you know that Africa is much bigger than you think? This continent is so massive that you can fit United States, China, India, and most of Europe inside it—with room to spare! But why does it look smaller on maps? It’s all because of the Mercator projection, which distorts the size of land near the equator. You see, when the Mercator projection is used, Africa appears much smaller than it truly is. But if you switch to the Peters Projection, which shows landmasses in their true size, you’ll see just how enormous Africa really is.
