Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Brazil sits at about 11°S and is stretched to 1.04× its true area; Ireland at 53° N is stretched to 2.78×. That difference is why Ireland looks so much bigger than it is next to Brazil. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
