Why in all world maps (I've seen) North America is bigger than Africa?

[Sirian]

In fact, Africa is bigger than North America.

And Australia is more than three times the size of Greenland.

Trying to transpose a globe on to a flat map is going to involve (major) distortions. It's only a matter of where these distortions should occur to create the least impact, and that is open to debate.

That's the short answer.
