Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Greenland sits at about 73°N and is stretched to 11.8× its true area; Haiti at 19° N is stretched to 1.12×. That difference is why Greenland looks so much bigger than it is next to Haiti. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
