An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water. A mainland is a larger body of land surrounded by water. A mainland is the largest of the other islands. A mainland isn't determined by size, it's determined by size compared to other islands. For example; Hawaii is a mainland. Kauai is an island. This is because Hawaii is larger than Kauai.
