Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Estonia sits at about 59°N and is stretched to 3.7× its true area; Mozambique at 17° S is stretched to 1.1×. That difference is why Estonia looks so much bigger than it is next to Mozambique. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
