How BIG is Europe?

Funny you should ask

And this has nothing to do with your question. But, looking at a map, Europe is as big or bigger than Africa. And yet, Africa is really almost 10 times the size. Same thing with Greenland. Many people don't know that the map we use today was made as a guide for sailers many years ago. And yet is far from being to scale. Germany isn't even in the right place
