How Big Is Africa?

I went to the Field Museum of Chicago and was surprised to see a display describing how large of a continent Africa is.  Africa is so large that the countries and unions of America, India, Argentina, Europe, China, and New Zealand can fit inside of it.




Africa is the 2nd most populated continent next to Asia and has a population of about 1 billion people.  The African Union (AU) has 54 members with the exception of Morocco.
