I’ve noticed Americans tend to be surprised that Europe is bigger than the US

Is that including Russia?

Nope. Edit: Not the whole of Russia, part of it

Europe includes the parts of Russia that are in Europe but not those that are in Asia.

As an European I’m also surprised that the US’ vertical Expansion is only around twice that of France.

What do you mean by vertical expansion?

@Aiyub@feddit.de · 2Y

Not the one who said it, but it would imply distance north to south

Thanks, I was trying to figure out if it was elevation or structure height
