Which is bigger: Grenada or Malta?

Grenada is larger (344 km²) — about 1.1 times the size of Malta (316 km²).

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