Which continent appears much wider than it really is compared to the other continents on a mercator projection map?

Antarctica appears much wider than it truly is. It seems to take up the whole bottom of the planet, but in reality, it is the third smallest continent. This distortion takes place because the projection of the Earth is stretched. All maps are distorted because of the sheer difficulty of projecting a 3D, globe-structed Earth onto a flat, 2D piece of paper.

Are continents islands?

That's really a hard question to answer. Many people will give you the argument that continents are large land masses that have various geographic features, such as jungles, deserts, plains, and so on. Then again, Antarctica is a continent, and it only have one biome, and that's tundra/ice. So in reality, that's a disputed question.

Which continent appears much wider than it really is compared to other continents on a mercator projection map?
