#1389: Surface Area explain

Surface Area

[At the top of a map is a heading, with two sub headings and a note in brackets:]

Space

Without the space

The Solar System’s solid surfaces stitched together

(Excluding dust and small rocks)

[Below the headings there is a map with several distinct areas. Each area is labelled with a name or a description. This label is noted inside the area, except for areas that are too small; here the label is written outside and a line indicates which area the label belongs to. Only exception is the largest area, on which the contours of the Earth’s continents are drawn. Surrounding the map is wavy lines to indicate that this is either an island or one big super-continent placed in an even larger ocean.]
