Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Czechia sits at about 50°N and is stretched to 2.39× its true area; Greenland at 73° N is stretched to 11.8×. That difference is why Greenland looks so much bigger than it is next to Czechia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
