What the numbers say
A much bigger footprint.
Brazil’s land area is 8,358,140 km², compared with 2,973,190 km² for India. Brazil therefore covers about 2.81 times as much land.
The difference—more than 5.3 million km²—is larger than India’s entire land area. Population density is a separate question and is not part of this comparison.
Using proportional area symbols keeps the larger footprint visible without introducing map-projection distortion.
