Europe is the second smallest continent in the world by page area, it has 10,180,000 square kilometers (3,930,000 square miles) of area which is 2% of the Earth’s surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of the 50 countries in Europe, Russia is the largest in terms of area and population, while the city of Vatican is the smallest. Europe is the third most populous continent after Asia and Africa by population.
Europe is one of the seven continents on Earth. Europe is fully connected to Asia. Europe and Asia are virtually Eurasia divisions and Europe is the westernmost peninsular section of Eurasia. Europe is divided by Asia through the water dividers of the Ural Mountains to its east such as the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Caucus mountain range, and the Black Sea to the southwest.The Arctic Ocean and other water bodies lie to the north of Europe, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Black Sea to the southeast, and the waterways connected to it. In spite of all this, the boundaries of Europe are very imaginary and to call it a continent is less on geographical basis, more on cultural and historical basis. Countries such as Britain, Ireland and Iceland are part of Europe despite being an island, but Greenland is part of North America.Russia is considered culturally in Europe, although its entire Siberian region is part of Asia. Today, people of most European countries enjoy the world’s highest standard of living. Let us know about European countries: –

Several dependencies and similar territories with broad autonomy are also found within or in close proximity to Europe. This includes Åland (a region of Finland), two constituent countries of the Kingdom of Denmark (other than Denmark itself), three Crown dependencies, and two British Overseas Territories. Svalbard is also included due to its unique status within Norway, although it is not autonomous. Not included are the three countries of the United Kingdom with devolved powers and the two Autonomous Regions of Portugal, which despite having a unique degree of autonomy, are not largely self-governing in matters other than international affairs. Areas with little more than a unique tax status, such as Heligoland and the Canary Islands, are also not included for this reason.
