Is the Netherlands a continent

Answer 1

The Netherlands isn't a continent, but the country lies on the continent Europe. Generally, there are seven continents on Earth. From smallest to largest the traditional 7 continents are: Australia, Europe, Antarctica, South America, North America and Asia.
These are actually the 7 parts of the worlds which are commonly regarded as continents, since in geology a continent is described by means of tectonic plates. It also depends on the country you live in, since in most English speaking countries such as Australia and the U.K., you're taught that there are 7 continents and for example in Japan you're taught that there are 6 (There Asia and Europe are combined in the continent Eurasia).
