No, just about the same.

I seem to recall reading that Mars is the size of Africa. Looks significantly bigger on that map, though.

I am not sure Africa is big enough on that map, even if bigger than usual.

It is, but not by much - 90% Earth's surface area.

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

But I'm told Pluto is not a planet anymore because there's 1000's of these that are larger or about the same size. So the etc would have to be 1000x larger than pluto, and there isn't one that big.

Wait. That wasn't too clear. The continents of Earth are within the solid surface of Earth.
