Brazil is larger (8,515,767 km²) — about 24755.1 times the size of Grenada (344 km²).

Why do Grenada 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 Grenada and Brazil are distorted compared to their true land area.
