How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 10.4 million, 8.00× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 117 in Jordan: Germany is 1.99× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 3,090 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Jordan at 31°N about 1.4×, so the map shows Germany as 7.45× the size of Jordan instead of 4.02×.
Together Germany and Jordan cover 447,000 km², close to the size of Sweden (446,000 km², 0.1% smaller).
The gap between them, 269,000 km², is about the size of New Zealand (268,000 km²).
At Jordan's density, Germany would have 42.0 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Jordan would have 20.7 million (it has 10.4 million).
Germany's centre is 19.8° of latitude, about 2,200 km, farther north than Jordan's.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. Main territory: the largest landmass and every part within 1,000 km of it.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded. Comparisons use main-territory area.
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.
