Texas Does Not Look That Huge Compared To Africa
After Alaska, Texas is the biggest state in the US. However, it does not hold a candle to the size of Africa! They say that everything is bigger in the Lone Star State, but it is as big as any other African continent country. This is still fairly impressive as the area of Africa is 30,370,000 sq. km. Texas, for the sake of reference, is only 676,587 sq. km. Yep, the continent is 45 times bigger than the Southern state.

In 2016, scientists revealed that nearly 80 percent of North Americans could not see the Milky Way. Tim Wallace said that many states get random light output thanks to oil extractions and large commercial buildings.
