Distortion of Mercator Map

I just saw this in the news today. While this is ‘old hat’ to use flat earthers, at least some of the public is being exposed to this, and, hopefully, start questioning other things we are told about the earth.

Would it help if I said that Greenland has an area of 2.166 million km2 and Africa has an area of 30.22 million km2? Suddenly that map isn’t looking quite so accurate.

You might want to do a little research yourself by taking one northern country and finding out its square miles and compare that to a country in Africa or South America. You will probably find a distortion in all the northern countries compared to those near or at the equator.
