So, You Wanna Know How Big Georgia Is, Eh? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Ever wondered just how much peach-flavored land Georgia cradles? You might be surprised! This ain't your grandma's flower pot, folks. We're talking some serious square mileage down here in the south.
But first, a little housekeeping: Are we talking about the country of Georgia, nestled all cozy-like between Europe and Asia, or the good ol' U.S. of A. Georgia, the one famous for sweet tea and peaches?
Because guess what? They're both pretty darn big!
- The Country: Clocking in at around 69,700 square kilometers (that's roughly 26,900 square miles for all you non-metric folks), this Georgia packs a punch. Think mountains, Black Sea coastline, and a rich history that stretches back centuries.
- The State: Now, our Georgia, the one with Atlanta and all that jazz? We're talking a total area of 59,425 square miles (153,909 square kilometers, for our international friends). That's enough space to fit a whole lotta grits, bless your heart.
Hold on, aren't there some watery bits? You got it, eagle eye! Georgia (the state, not the country) has a bit of a coastline thing going on. The Atlantic Ocean nudges up against its shores for about 100 miles, adding some salty square mileage to the mix.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
So, to break it down:
- Land area: 57,701.1 square miles (whew, that's a mouthful!)
- Water area: 1,706.3 square miles (perfect for catching some rays and maybe a grouper or two)
The Big Reveal: Georgia's a Big Deal!
There you have it, folks! Whether you're planning a trip to the birthplace of Stalin (the country, that is) or just wanna impress your friends with some random Georgia trivia, you're now officially a geography whiz.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
Bonus points if you can tell the difference between a peach and a nectarine.
