Which Is the Biggest Country in the World? π
Let’s talk about something really big today. Like… the biggest country on Earth! πΊ️
Many people think of the USA, China, or India when they imagine large countries. And yes, those are big in people and power. But if we’re talking about land size, only one country comes first...
It’s Russia! π·πΊ
Yes, Russia is the largest country in the world by area. It covers more than 17.1 million square kilometers. That’s more than one-eighth of all land on Earth!
It’s so big that Russia sits across two continents: Europe and Asia. In the west, you find big cities like Moscow. In the east, it’s full of mountains, snow, forests, and wide-open nature.
But is it full of people?
Here’s the surprising part: Even though Russia is huge, most of its land is empty. It has lots of forests, cold areas, and nature that’s hard to live in. Most people live in the western part.
Big cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg have beautiful buildings, culture, and history. But in places like Siberia, it’s super cold and wild.
Some Fun Russia Facts! π
- Russia shares borders with 14 countries!
- It has 11 time zones — yes, 11!
- The world’s longest train ride, the Trans-Siberian Railway, is in Russia.
- It takes about 7 days to cross the country by train.
Why Is This Important?
Learning about the biggest country shows us how different places on Earth can be. Russia is full of history, culture, and natural beauty. But size doesn’t always mean more people or easy life. It means space, power, and challenge.
Final Thought π

Now you know not just who’s the biggest, but also why it’s so interesting!
