India vs Europe

How much of Europe is the size of India?

India’s reported geographic area is roughly one-third of the area of Europe. Europe here means the whole geographic continent, including European Russia. The prepared overlay starts over part of Europe so you can explore the outline; it does not mean India covers every country beneath it or the whole continent.

By these reference figures, India covers about 32.9% of Europe’s area. This is an area ratio, rather than a count of outlines that can fit neatly inside one another.
