How BIG is Africa #shorts

Africa is big—much larger than it appears on most maps. Due to the way maps distort land sizes, regions farther from the equator look bigger, while equatorial areas, like Africa, appear smaller. In truth, Africa is over 14 times larger than it seems.

To put its size into perspective, you could fit China, India, Mexico, the United States, and Japan within Africa—and still have room to spare. Even just one African nation, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is larger than Norway, Sweden, and Finland combined.

But Africa isn’t just massive in land area; it’s also home to 1.4 billion people, a population projected to grow to 2.4 billion by 2050 and an astonishing 4.3 billion by 2100. That’s a monumental demographic shift on a global scale.
