How Much of Asia is Russia?

Russia covers a significant portion of Asia, as it spans both Europe and Asia. Here's the breakdown:

• Total area of Russia: 17.1 million square kilometers
• Area of Russia in Asia: Roughly 13.1 million square kilometers

Asia's total area is approximately 44.58 million square kilometers.

To calculate the percentage of Asia that Russia occupies:

Percentage = (Area of Russia in Asia / Total area of Asia) × 100

Percentage = (13.1 / 44.58) × 100 ≈ 29.4%

Russia occupies about 29.4% of Asia.

What Country Occupies the Most of Asia?

The country that occupies the largest portion of Asia is Russia. Although Russia is a transcontinental country, with territory in both Europe and Asia, its Asian portion is the largest. About 77% of Russia's landmass lies in Asia, making it the largest country in Asia by land area.

However, if we consider only countries entirely located in Asia, China comes next. China covers about 9.6 million square kilometers, which is about 21.5% of the total land area of Asia, making it the largest entirely Asian country.
