Did you know that Africa is far larger than most of us realize? What if we told you that Greenland, which looks as big as Africa on most maps, is actually 14 times smaller? Or that Russia — which seems gigantic — can fit into Africa twice? The reason for this confusion is the Mercator Projection — a map style created for navigation that distorts the true size of countries and continents. In this video by Oga Atlas, we break down how Africa’s actual size has been misrepresented for centuries. You’ll also learn how the U.S., China, India, Japan, and all of Europe combined can still fit inside Africa! 🌍 It’s not just a geography lesson — it’s a reminder of how visual perception shapes global narratives. 🔖 Tags (English) Oga Atlas, Africa real size, Africa vs Greenland size, how big is Africa, Africa size comparison, Mercator projection explained, map distortion, Africa vs Russia map, world map lies, Africa true map, Africa vs world countries, geography explained, misleading maps, Africa facts, global perception Africa, DR Congo vs Greenland, African continent size 📢 Hashtags (English) #OgaAtlas #AfricaRealSize #MapMyths #MercatorProjection #GeographyExplained #WorldMapTruth #AfricaFacts #AfricaVsGreenland #MapDistortion #AfricaOnMap #BiggestContinent #AfricaVsRussia #MapsAreLying #GlobalGeography #EducationalVideo #AfricaExplained #ContinentSize #TrueWorldMap #GeographyMatters #MindBlowingFacts
