What map projection makes Greenland look almost as big as south America?
Many will, the Mercator projection is probably the best known.
Is Greenland or the US bigger?
The United States is much bigger, about four and a half times bigger. Earth is round, but maps usually show the Earth on rectangular pages, resulting in a distortion of the sizes of countries. Areas of land near the poles, such as Greenland get stretched out on the maps and so they look like they are much bigger than they really are. On a map like that Greenland looks huge, but in fact it isn't. It is only really on a globe that you will see how big it really is compared to other countries.

Is Greenland larger than Australia?
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.
