- Their centres are about 5,720 km apart.
- On a standard web map Wyoming looks larger than Ecuador: Ecuador at 1°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Wyoming at 43°N about 1.9×, so the map shows Wyoming as 1.86× the size of Ecuador, when Ecuador is 1.01× the size of Wyoming.
- Together Ecuador and Wyoming cover 508,000 km², close to the size of Thailand (514,000 km², 1.2% bigger).
- At Wyoming's density, Ecuador would have 580,000 people (it has 16.9 million). At Ecuador's density, Wyoming would have 16.8 million (it has 577,000).

- Ecuador ranks 78th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Wyoming is the 9th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 2.7% of its area; it is the 50th most densely populated of them.
- Wyoming lies about 44° of latitude (roughly 4,940 km) north of Ecuador, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Ecuador would have about 15,050 m² and each person in Wyoming about 439,430 m².
- Laid side by side, Ecuador and Wyoming would cover 508,000 km², about the same size as Thailand.
- Together they have 17.5 million people, about as many people as Guinea.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- Drawing
- Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
