    Map Accurately Compares Size of Texas to Europe?

    Claim:

    A map shared to social media in mid-October 2024 accurately compared the size of Texas to Europe.

    Context

    The map shared online moderately exaggerated the size of Texas; however it was more or less an accurate representation of the state's vastness.

    A photo shared to Facebook on Oct. 11, 2024, claimed to show an outline of the state of Texas laid over a map of Europe, highlighting the Lone Star State's immense size as it covered large portions of five Western European nations.

    The post, which had amassed more than 17,000 reactions as of this writing, was captioned: "After Seeing These 15 Maps You'll Never Look At The World The Same."

    Hayley Drennon, senior research assistant at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, said via email that yes, "Texas really is THAT big." 

    However, the state's borders were moderately exaggerated in the Facebook post, which made its representation only mostly true.

    Nonetheless, the true vastness of Texas, as outlined below, is not far off.
