Based on the provided information, Japan is bigger than the UK.
Comparison of Size: Japan vs. the UK (based on reference)
According to the reference, Japan and the British Isles, which include the United Kingdom, are similar in size but not equal. The provided data indicates the approximate land area for each:
- Japan encompasses some 145,000 square miles.
- The British Isles (Ireland and United Kingdom) encompass some 120,000 square miles.
Since the British Isles figure represents the combined area of Ireland and the United Kingdom, the area of the United Kingdom alone is less than 120,000 square miles. Comparing these figures, Japan's area of 145,000 square miles is larger than the British Isles' area of 120,000 square miles, and therefore larger than the area of the UK.
Here's a quick comparison based on the reference:
| Region | Approximate Size (square miles) |
|---|---|
| Japan | 145,000 |
| British Isles | 120,000 |
This data shows that Japan has a larger land area than the British Isles region that includes the UK.
