List of islands by area. Dymaxion map (Fuller map) with continental landmasses (I,II,III,IV) and largest islands (1–30) roughly to scale. This list includes all islands in the world larger than 1,000 km 2 (390 sq mi). For size and location reference, the four continental landmasses are also shown.
Recursive islands and lakes. Aral Sea, formerly the third largest lake in the world, with an area of 68,000 km 2 (26,300 sq mi) Lake Chad, formerly the eleventh largest lake in the world, with an area of 26,000 km 2 (10,000 sq mi) Lake Urmia, formerly with an area of 5,200 km 2 (2,000 sq mi), but down to a tenth that size in 2017.
Dymaxion map of the world with the 30 largest countries and territories by area. This is a list of the world's countries and their dependencies by land, water, and total area, ranked by total area. The entries in this list include, but are not limited to, those in the ISO 3166-1 standard, which includes sovereign states and dependent territories.
This table shows all cities or conurbations with a total urbanised area of at least 5,000 km 2, according to Demographia 's annual World Urban Areas [57] publication, that uses a consistent methodology between countries to provide comparable population and area figures. Urban area. Country. Built-up land area.
Earth is rounded into an ellipsoid with a circumference of about 40,000 km. It is the densest planet in the Solar System. Of the four rocky planets, it is the largest and most massive. Earth is about eight light-minutes away from the Sun and orbits it, taking a year (about 365.25 days) to complete one revolution.
Tasman Sea – 2.3 million km 2 (0.89 million sq mi) Bay of Bengal – 2.172 million km 2 (0.839 million sq mi) Bering Sea – 2 million km 2 (0.77 million sq mi) Sea of Okhotsk – 1.583 million km 2 (0.611 million sq mi) Gulf of Mexico – 1.550 million km 2 (0.598 million sq mi)
Proxima Centauri b is the closest exoplanet to Earth, [20] at a distance of about 4.2 ly (1.3 parsecs). [5] It orbits Proxima Centauri every 11.186 Earth days at a distance of about 0.049 AU, [1] over 20 times closer to Proxima Centauri than Earth is to the Sun. [21] As of 2021, it is unclear whether it has an eccentricity [e] [24] but Proxima Centauri b is unlikely to have any obliquity. [25]
Elgygytgyn, 18 km (11 mi) Bosumtwi, 10 km (6.2 mi) From between 1 and 10 million years ago, and with a diameter of 5 km or more. If uncertainties regarding its age are resolved, then the largest in the last 10 million years would be the 52-kilometre (32 mi) Karakul crater which is listed in EID with an age of less than 5 Ma, or the Pliocene.
