Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Angola sits at about 12° S and is stretched to 1.05× its true area; Canada at 60° N is stretched to 4.1×. That difference is why Canada looks so much bigger than it is next to Angola. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
