Australia Wider Than the Moon

Australia's diameter is wider than the Moon's. The continent measures 2,485 miles across, while the Moon is 2,112 miles.

It seems impossible, but Australia's east-west diameter actually exceeds that of Earth's Moon. This fact highlights the vastness of our planet's geography.
