The Brazilian coast is the size of a road from Porto Alegre to Miami

Don’t worry, we’ll explain. The wonderful Brazilian coastline is 7,367 kilometers long. This distance would be enough to build a straight road from Porto Alegre to Miami and there would still be about 400 kilometers left. If we count every curve in the coastline instead of making a linear line, the size increases to 9,200 kilometers.

India would fit inside the Amazon

The Amazon has 5.5 million square kilometers, 40% of which is within Brazilian territory. It means that only within the Brazilian portion of the forest would fit the whole of India. That’s right, the entire country. If you prefer to include more than one country, we can say that Spain, France and Mexico would fit together in this space. And there would be a little space left.
