Why do some sources claim that the US is the 3rd largest country in area but other sources claim that China is the 3rd largest and the US is 4th largest?
The discrepancy arises from how different sources measure the size of countries. The U.S. is typically recognized as the third largest country by total area, which includes land and water, while China is often cited as larger when considering only land area. Additionally, some sources may include disputed territories or different definitions of country boundaries, leading to varying rankings. Thus, the context and criteria for measurement can influence the rankings of the two countries.
