    I think the reason why people (visually) think Chile is longer is because Brazil has a bigger width than Chile. Chile being narrow gives it an illusion of being longer than Brazil, even though absolute distances say otherwise. 😊

Szerokość geograficzna jest równoleżnikowa, od równika wzrasta lub maleje (północ południe). The longitude should be meridional (east west). So Russia is the longest country. and Brazil the widest. The latitude is latitudinal, increasing or decreasing from the equator (north to south).
