Introduction

The world is home to many countries, and their sizes vary greatly. Some countries are small, while others are enormous. The ten largest countries in the world, listed in order of their total area, are Russia, Canada, China, the United States, Brazil, Australia, India, Argentina, Kazakhstan, and Algeria. These countries make up a significant portion of the Earth’s surface, accounting for over 55% of its land area. Among these countries, Russia is the largest, occupying about 11% of the planet’s total area.

An interesting thing to note is that many of the largest countries in the world are located in the Northern Hemisphere. Countries in the Northern Hemisphere tend to be larger due to their geography, climate, and history. For example, Russia and Canada are both located in the far north, where they have vast expanses of land and harsh climates that have kept their populations relatively small. China, India, and the United States are all large countries with significant populations, and they are also located in the Northern Hemisphere.
