Australia is larger, but Greenland appears large on flat maps because of the distortion that occurs the closer you get to the poles. Seeing the two on a globe helps to more accurately see their real size.
Australia is bigger than Greenland.
Australia is a continent with a mainland area of 7 659 861 sq km.
Greenland is not classed as a continent, but as an island, with an area of 2,166,086 sq km.
I know maps and globes can get you really confused on which one is really bigger
but I'm telling you Australia is much much bigger than Greenland.Australia is the biggest island in the world.
No, at 2,166,086 square kilometers, Greenland is significantly smaller than Australia (7,617,930 square kilometers).
No, Australia is much larger than Greenland, but in map, Greenland appears larger.
No, Australia is 2.97 million sq miles (7.692 million km²)
Greenland is 836,300 sq miles (2.166 million km²)

Australia is four to five times bigger than Greenland. Greenland is frequently pictured on maps of the world based on the Mercator Projection, which makes Greenland look much larger than it actually is.
Greenland is much further from the Equator than Australia.
Although both countries have large tracts of unusable land, Australia's area is much larger than Greenland's area. This means that there is more available land for use, and therefore it can attract and support a higher number of people.
yes grennland is higher than australia

Zealandia is a continent that had separated from Australia. Currently the continent is submerged beneath the Pacific Ocean. It is also larger than India and Greenland.
The Mercator map projection does not represent area correctly. the equatorial regions are relatively small and the polar regions relatively large (if Greenland looks larger than Australia then the area proportions are wrong Australia has more than three times the surface area of Greenland).
Greenland has a higher elevation than Australia.
The largest island in the world, Greenland, which measures 2,166,086 km2 in total area, is not a continent itself although it is larger than Australia.
Greenland - by definition. What this means is that Australia, which is larger than Greenland, is normally DEFINED to be a continent, while Greenland is DEFINED to be an island. Such definitions are fairly arbitrary; if the size limit to qualify as a continent were to be changed, both might be considered continents, or both islands.
Greenland has a higher elevation than Australia. Greenland's highest point is Gunnbjorn 3,700 m Australia's highest point is Mount Kosciuszko 2,229 m
