3. Texas Is Equal To The Size Of The African Country
The proverbial adage that “Everything is larger in Texas” is accurate. In Texas, everything from belt buckles to vehicles to steaks is much larger than they are in other parts of the country. When the size of Texas is compared to the size of Africa in terms of the actual land area, there is no dispute about which continent has the larger size.
Texas is almost the same size as a nation in Africa, but the continent of Africa as a whole is just too large for Texas to compete with. Since the continent is 45 times larger than the state of Texas, we may safely say that Africa is larger this state. People tend to believe that Africa is much smaller since most maps do not represent its size.
4. Stargazing: Fabulous Nighttime Activity
One of the most enjoyable activities that can be done when it is evening is to gaze up at the Milky Way and observe the movement of the stars across the sky. When there are many people in an area, such as there is in New York City and Los Angeles, it may not be easy to single out stars.
Those who are interested in astronomy will be pleased to learn that the states located in the center of the United States have the lowest levels of light pollution. If you want to view the night sky in its full glory, North Dakota or Wyoming are great places to visit. If you are standing on the beach, there is a chance that you won’t be able to see the stars because of the light pollution.
