Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Denmark sits at about 56°N and is stretched to 3.19× its true area; Seychelles at 5° S is stretched to 1.01×. That difference is why Denmark looks so much bigger than it is next to Seychelles. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
