Where does Canada rank in the world in terms of area?

Canada is the second largest country in the world. The three advantages of "vast territory, abundant resources and sparse population" make Canada a happy and comfortable country, and because of its favorable conditions, it has become the most popular destination country in the world.

Canada's land area is about 9.98 million square kilometers, which is about 380,000 square kilometers more than that of China. However, as of March 2065438+2009, Canada's population was only about 37.4 million, ranking 38th among countries in the world, and its total population was roughly equal to that of Afghanistan, an Asian country. Obviously, the population of Canada is out of proportion to the second largest country in the world.

Canada is located in the north of North America, bordering the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Atlantic Ocean in the east, Alaska in the northwest, and Greenland (actually controlled by Denmark) in the northeast across davis strait and Baffin Bay.

It is bordered by the United States in the south (the eastern part is bounded by four great lakes except Lake Michigan and Appalachian Mountains, and the central and western parts are basically bounded by 49 degrees north latitude), the northern part is bordered by the Arctic Ocean, and the Arctic Circle passes through the north.
