<span style="font-size:18px">Nevşehir'in yüz ölçümüyle İstanbul'dan daha büyük bir şehir olduğu bilgisini kimle paylaşsak ya inanmadı ya da inanmak istemedi.<br /> <br /> Ancak gerçekte Nevşehir yüz ölçümüyle İstanbuldan bir miktar daha büyük bir alana sahip. Türkiye'nin nüfusu en büyük şehri olan İstanbul (14 milyon) 5 bin 343 kilometrekare alana sahip iken 280 bin nüfuslu Nevşehir'in yüz ölçümü 5 bin 467 kilometrekare. (Kaynak wikipedia)<br /> <br /> Değişik kaynaklara göre rakam küçük farklılıklar gösterse de Nevşehir'in daha büyük olduğu gerçeği değişmiyor.<br /> <br /> İllerimizin toprak büyüklüğü (yüzölçümleri):<br /> <br /> Ülkemiz toprak bakımından dünyanın orta büyüklükteki ülkelerinden bir tanesi olan ülkemiz 783.562 kilometrekarelik toprak büyüklüğü ile dünya ülkeleri toprak büyüklüğü sıralamasında 37.sırada yer almaktadır.<br /> Ülkemizdeki en büyük toprağa sahip il KONYA ilimizdir. Konya ilimizin toprak büyüklüğü dünyada ki birçok ülkenin toprak büyüklüğünden daha fazladır. Yaklaşık 40.000 kilometrekarelik bir toprak büyüklüğüne sahip olan bu ilimizin toprak büyüklüğü ülkemiz topraklarının neredeyse 1/20’lik kısmına tekabül etmektedir. İkinci sırayı yaklaşık olarak 28.6 bin kilometrekarelik bir toprağı bulunan SİVAS ilimiz izlemekte olup üçüncü sırada ise 25.4 bin kilometrekarelik toprağı olan başkentimiz ANKARA yer almaktadır.<br /> Toprağı en küçük olan ilimiz ise yaklaşık 850 kilometrekarelik bir toprağa sahip olan YALOVA ‘dır.<br /> Şimdi sırasıyla illerimizin büyükten küçüğe doğru yüzölçümlerini yani toprak büyüklüklerini verelim.
