A website to show the true size of any country |
---|
How big is Greenland really? How many times could you fit the UK into Algeria? How much bigger is China than Australia? The answers to all of these questions - and other similar ones - lies in this great website. |
The most commonly used map of the world is the Mercator projection, but it has its faults:
South America is actually 9 times bigger than Greenland, but you wouldn't know it from this map.
A great website called TrueSize allows you to drag one country onto another on this map:
Just type in a country name into the box.
You can then drag the country where you want on the map:
As you drag a country up or down its size cleverly changes.

If you want to get rid of Greenland from its new position in the middle of South America, just right-click on it.
