2500 mile radius is no joke though.
It's 10% of world's land area.
edit: The circle in the article has plenty of water. I'm not counting that. So maybe land area in that circle is 5% of world's total land area (not 10%).
- thaumasiotes 7y agoIt's about 10% of the world's entire area, ocean included. It's much more than that of the land area. (But as you note, it includes water too. Not sure how much.)
- keanzu 7y ago2500x2500xpi = 19.6M World total area = 197M [0] World land area = 57.5M [0] Circle looks to me to be at least half water so it's about a sixth of the world's land area. Approximately 11% [1] of all land is arable worldwide. I suspect the percentage is higher inside the circle.

- fizixer 7y agoYou're right. My bad. I googled 'earth land area' and it showed ~196 million sq miles. And I used it without double check. (Google incorrectly reported the full surface area of earth.)
