Explanation:
Brazil occupies most of the eastern part of the South American continent and its geographic heartland, as well as various islands in the Atlantic Ocean.[1] The only countries in the world that are larger are Russia, Canada, China, and the United States.[1] The national territory extends 4,395 kilometers (2,731 mi) from north to south (5°16'20" N to 33°44'32" S latitude), and 4,319 kilometers (2,684 mi) from east to west (34°47'30" W to 73°59'32" W longitude).[1] It spans four time zones, the westernmost of which is equivalent to Eastern Standard Time in the United States.[1] The time zone of the capital (Brasília) and of the most populated part of Brazil along the east coast (UTC-3) is two hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time.[1] The Atlantic islands are in the easternmost time zone.[1]
Brazil possesses the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, located 350 kilometers (217 mi) northeast of its "horn", and several small islands and atolls in the Atlantic - Abrolhos, Atol das Rocas, Penedos de São Pedro e São Paulo, Trindade, and Martim Vaz.[1] In the early 1970s, Brazil claimed a territorial sea extending 362 kilometers (225 mi) from the country's shores, including those of the islands.[1]
On Brazil's east coast, the Atlantic coastline extends 7,367 kilometers (4,578 mi).[1] In the west, in clockwise order from the south, Brazil has 15,719 kilometers (9,767 mi) of borders with Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana (overseas department of France).[1] The only South American countries with which Brazil does not share borders are Chile and Ecuador.[1] A few short sections are in question, but there are no true major boundary controversies with any of the neighboring countries.[1] Brazil has the 10th largest Exclusive Economic Zone of 3,830,955 km2 (1,479,140 sq mi).
