How big is America's land area compared to Australia's?

Answer 1

Australia is the 6th largest country in the world at 7,686,850 km2 (2,967,909 sq mi) The United States of America is the 3rd or 4th (disputed see below) largest country in the world at 9,826,630 km2 (3,794,066 sq mi). The difference is 2,139,780 km2 (826,157sq mi) or a 21.77% difference. The discrepancy in the rank of the US's size comes from a dispute between China and India who both claim several areas of land (the Aksai Chin, the Trans-Karakoram Tract, and the Arunachal Pradesh) If these areas are included in China's area it becomes the 3rd largest country in the world and the United States would be 4th. If they are not included, the United States would be 3rd and China 4th.
