ANSWER: There are seven continents on planet Earth: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. All the continents are one large landmass in the sense that they're connected under the oceans' waters, but they are separated by ocean waters on the surface. Theoretically, if the ocean waters were to dissolve, the earth would be one large landmass, or continent. As to ownership, the different land masses around the planet belongs to different nations. For example, the 48 continental U.S. states as well as Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., Alaska, and Hawaii belong to the United States of America. While the states reside in North America, they do not "belong" to the continent, but to the nation, and are governed thereby.
The biggest land mass in the world is Asia. It is the largest continent covering approximately 30% of the Earth's total land area.
Australia has the largest percent of its land mass on an island, as it is both a country and a continent. Australia's entire land mass is situated on the Australian continent, which is the world's largest island.
The land mass of Africa is approximately 30.2 million square kilometers. It is the second largest continent by land area in the world.
Antarctica has the least land mass of all the continents.
Asia

Not all countries necessarily belong to a continent. There are many countries that are stand alone islands that are not connected to another land mass. They include Cuba, Madagascar, East Timor, The Seychelles, and Iceland.
An example of a land mass is a continent or a country. Even maybe a very large island.
