Russia spans approximately 9,000 km from east to west, while Pluto has a diameter of only about 2,377 km. This means if you could place Pluto next to Russia, the dwarf planet would fit across Russia nearly four times. Russia's land area (17.1 million km²) is also larger than Pluto's surface area (16.7 million km²).

While Mount Everest is the highest point above sea level (8,849 m), Earth is not a perfect sphere — it bulges at the equator. Ecuador's Mount Chimborazo sits near the equator, making its summit the point on Earth's surface farthest from the planet's center at about 6,384 km.

Honey badgers are found across three continents: sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia including India and Nepal. They occupy an extraordinary variety of habitats — from rainforests and savannahs to arid deserts and alpine meadows up to 4,000 meters above sea level. This adaptability makes them one of the widest-ranging carnivores on Earth.
