Russia has a larger surface area than Pluto??

hello i am amit your fact friend today i am again come with a Astonished fact

Even after the dissolution of the Soviet Union into several smaller countries, Russia is still the largest country on earth by far. Almost half of all land on earth is in Russia. It is larger than 3 continents (Europe, Australia and Antarctica) and almost twice as large as the second largest country on earth (Canada). If every single human on earth were to move to Russia, each of us would have around 2.5 square kilometers of land all to ourselves.The largest country by land mass on Earth is Russia. Pluto was discovered in 1930 and was originally classified as the 9th planet in the solar system.
In terms of diameter, Pluto is only about 2400 km across, which would easily fit within Russia’s largest east-to-west width of 10,000 km. It would also fit within the largest north-to-south size of 4000 km.


Russia is the largest country on Earth and actually does have a greater surface area than Pluto, which is a main reason why it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. The surface area of Russia is approximately 6.6 million square miles (17 million sq km), while Pluto’s surface area is 6.4 million square miles (16.7 million sq km). The country has a population of approximately 142 million people. Nearly three-quarters of Russians live in cities, leaving the vast amount of the country’s significant surface area hardly populated due to its harsh cold climates and being mostly covered with trees.




Using previous estimates, Russia edged out Pluto, at 17,075,200 square kilometers, while Pluto was thought to be 16,647,940 square kilometers. After the New Horizons mission, Pluto was found to be slightly larger than estimated, making its surface area 17,646,012 square kilometers, which is larger than Russia.Pluto was discovered in 1930 and was originally classified as the 9th planet in the solar system. In 2006 it was re-classified as a dwarf planet, and rumors have swirled since then about the possible reinstatement of planet status.
Pluto was visited by the New Horizons spacecraft in July 2015 and its size was finally clarified by measurements of that mission.
