In most English-speaking countries and China it's taught and believed there are seven continents:
1. Asia - 44,700,000 sq km
2. Africa - 30,300,000 sq km
3. North America - 24,360,000 sq km
4. South America- 17,770,000 sq km
5. Antarctica - 14,000,000 sq km (island continent)
6. Europe - 9,940,000 sq km
7. Australia - 7,686,850 sq km (island continent)
(In Chinese: 亚洲,欧洲,非洲,北美洲,南美洲,南极洲,大洋洲)
However there are other opinions based on cultural tradition, tectonic plate distribution, etc. The universal answer would be "from 5 to 7."
Some say there are six because they tend to put South & North America together.
