The largest continent on the face of the Earth is Asia. It covers an area of 17,212,000 square miles (44,579,000 square km); that's almost 9% of the Earth's surface!
Asia is home to some 4,164,252,000 people (4 billion,164 million!); that's nearly two thirds of all the inhabitants of Earth. But despite its size and its population, Asia has fewer countries than either Africa or Europe, which are both considerably smaller.
