Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. China sits at about 37°N and is stretched to 1.56× its true area; Grenada at 12° N is stretched to 1.05×. That difference is why China looks so much bigger than it is next to Grenada. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
