Hey, I keep hearing that the United States is really huge, but how big is it really?

Well, in terms of area, it's the third-largest country in the world, and roughly twenty-five times the size of Japan. Does that help?

Hmm... Not really.

Then, let's try looking at your question from another angle.

Imagine that the nail of my thumb is Japan.

The United States of America would be the rest of my hand.

Wow, that's way easier to understand!

Wait, it's really that big?!

This is just a simple visual representation.

I doubt that I've gotten the exact scale correct.

No, but I have a way better picture in my head now! Thanks, Toya!

You're welcome.
