Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Chile sits at about 36°S and is stretched to 1.53× its true area; Uganda at 1° N is stretched to 1.0×. That difference is why Chile looks so much bigger than it is next to Uganda. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
