Area - total: 9,631,418 sq km

Area - comparative:
about half the size of Russia; about three-tenths the size of Africa;
about half the size of South America (or slightly larger than Brazil);
slightly larger than China; almost two and a half times the size of
the European Union

Area - total: 510.072 million sq km
note: 70.8% of the world's surface is water, 29.2% is land

Area - comparative:
land area about 16 times the size of the US

Ergo: the USofA is about 6.25% of the earth's area.
