Comparing the Surface Area of Russia to Pluto
Quick fact
Russia's land area is approximately 17.1 million square kilometers (6.6 million sq mi), which is slightly larger than Pluto's total surface area of about 16.7 million square kilometers (6.4 million sq mi).
Why this is interesting
Russia spans across eleven time zones and feels enormous from a map. But what if we told you that Earth's largest country could sit on Pluto's surface—what would that look like?
