[Shocking] Measuring 'How Many Tokyo Domes' Even Japanese People Don't Quite Get! A Scale Comparison of the Earth and That Other Thing I Was Curious About ⚖️
You've heard it a million times if you're Japanese,'How many Tokyo Domes?'
The objects being measured are often so large that it's hard to get a sense of scale, but I finally compared it with that one thing.
'How many Tokyo Domes' is a phrase we hear often, but do you actually have a sense of how big that area is?
This time, we thoroughly compared the scale of everything from the Japan we live in, to the Earth, and even that vast area inside the walls from the hit manga 'Attack on Titan,' using the familiar 'Tokyo Dome' as a benchmark!
With a series of numbers that far exceed your imagination, your jaw is sure to drop...!
1. Hokkaido is about 1.78 million Tokyo Domes!
The vast land of Japan, Hokkaido. Its area is a staggering 83,424 square kilometers!
If you divide this by the area of a Tokyo Dome (approx. 46,755 square meters)...
It's about 1,784,334 of them!
Can you grasp the vastness if you imagine about 1.78 million Tokyo Domes spread out? Even so, it might still be hard to get a real sense of it.
2. Antarctica is about 299.43 million Tokyo Domes!
Located at the southernmost tip of the Earth, the continent covered in ice and snow, Antarctica. Its area reaches about 14 million square kilometers.
Converted into Tokyo Domes...
It's about 299,433,000 of them!
That's a calculation of about 300 million Tokyo Domes fitting into the Antarctic continent. At this point, the Tokyo Dome would look like nothing more than a dot.
3. The total area of all oceans is about 7.7218 billion Tokyo Domes!
The vast ocean that covers about 70% of the Earth's surface. Its total area is said to be about 361 million square kilometers.
Representing this in Tokyo Domes...
It's about 7,721,800,000 of them!
About 7.7 billion... an unimaginable number. This figure clearly shows just how much of a water planet the Earth is.
4. The Earth (surface area) is about 10.9 billion Tokyo Domes!
And the surface area of the Earth itself, where we live, is about 510 million square kilometers.
As for how many Tokyo Domes that is...
It's about 10,908,970,000 of them!
The Earth's surface would be completely covered by about 10.9 billion Tokyo Domes. That is an incredible expanse.
5. All of Japan is about 8.08 million Tokyo Domes!
Now, here is a rather interesting comparison.
The total area of our country, Japan, is about 378,000 square kilometers.
Converted into Tokyo Domes...
It's about 8,084,000 of them!
It takes about 8.08 million Tokyo Domes to finally cover the entire Japanese archipelago.
6. The entire area inside the walls of Attack on Titan is about 15.4 million Tokyo Domes!
And then there's the popular manga 'Attack on Titan' that many people were obsessed with. The area inside those massive triple walls that humanity built to protect itself from the threat of Titans. Based on the settings in the work, the total area is considered to be about 720,000 square kilometers.
If you turn this into Tokyo Domes, it's a staggering...
About 15,400,000 of them!
A shocking fact! The world of Attack on Titan was bigger than Japan!
Let's compare the numbers from earlier once more.
* All of Japan: about 8.08 million
* Area inside the walls of Attack on Titan: about 15.4 million
Surprisingly, the entire area inside the walls of 'Attack on Titan' is calculated to be about 1.9 times larger than all of Japan!
Even though it's a story from a manga or anime, weren't you surprised all over again by this comparison at how vast that area inside the walls was set to be? When I first read the work, I thought, 'They're trapped in a small world inside the walls,' but no, it's huge!
Even the expression 'how many Tokyo Domes,' which we hear casually, makes you overwhelmed by the sheer scale when you compare it with concrete numbers and familiar things.
The numbers introduced this time are estimates, but I hope they stimulated your imagination even a little bit!
