Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Chad sits at about 15°N and is stretched to 1.07× its true area; Ukraine at 49° N is stretched to 2.34×. That difference is why Ukraine looks so much bigger than it is next to Chad. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
