is africa the second largest continent
Sure, we all know that Asia is the largest continent of the seven that are on Earth. But does the name of the second largest continent roll off your tongue quite as smoothly? The title of the worldâs second largest continent belongs to Africa. And it wins in this category for both area of space it takes up, as well as the population of the continent. Africa has a land mass area of 30,244,050 square kilometers, or 11,677,240 square miles.
