Which is bigger: Antigua and Barbuda or Brazil?

Brazil is larger (8,510,417 km²) — about 19254.3 times the size of Antigua and Barbuda (442 km²).

Why do Antigua and Barbuda and Brazil look different on the map than in reality?

The common Mercator projection enlarges areas the farther they lie from the equator, so the on-map size proportions of Antigua and Barbuda and Brazil are distorted compared to their true land area.
