Landmass: We’re Number 3

America by the Numbers
Written By Sadie Cornelius

The United States indeed is an expansive country; it is the world’s third largest country, by landmass. Russia is by far the biggest country, with 17.098 million square kilometers (6.6 million square miles) of land and water. Canada (9.984 million square kilometers; 3.855 million square miles), the United States (9.826 million square kilometers; 3.78 million square miles), and China (9.596 million square kilometers; 3.69 million square miles) are close in size as the second, third, and fourth largest countries, respectively.
