Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Cuba sits at about 22°N and is stretched to 1.16× its true area; Mongolia at 47° N is stretched to 2.15×. That difference is why Mongolia looks so much bigger than it is next to Cuba. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
