Earth has a total surface area of about 510 million square kilometers, of which approximately 29% is land and 71% is water. This means that about 148 million square kilometers of land surrounds the Earth.
Land surrounded on four sides by water is called an island. If the land is surrounded on four sides by other land, it is called a peninsula.

An island is a piece of land entirely surrounded by water.
That depends on whether the land is surrounded by water or something else. If it is surrounded by water, it is an island. If it is surrounded by water but is sufficiently large, it may be called an island continent (an example is Australia). If it is a land area completely surrounded by high mountains, rivers will flow to the land that is surrounded instead of to the ocean in that area. That would make the land an endorrheic basin.

When Pangaea existed, all the Earth's continents were connected into one massive supercontinent. The landmass was surrounded by a single large ocean called Panthalassa. The climate was much different than today, with a more uniform distribution of temperatures and weather patterns across the Earth.
A large area of land which is completely surrounded by water is a continent. A small area of land which is completely surrounded by water is an island.
