World Continents
The seven continents with approximate area and population.
The seven continents in the common English-language model with approximate area in square kilometers and approximate population, ordered from largest to smallest by population-and-area convention.
Use it when
- You need an approximate continent size or population for a comparison or a quiz.
- You are checking the seven-continent convention.
Watch out for
- The number of continents depends on the model: some count five (Americas combined, Eurasia combined) or six.
- Population values are approximate and rise year by year; Oceania is shown as Australia/Oceania in this list.
