How they differ
- Luxembourg is larger, but Comoros has the larger population: 902,000 against 691,000, 1.31× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 540 in Comoros against 265 in Luxembourg: Comoros is 2.04× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,770 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Luxembourg at 50°N is drawn about 2.4× too large and Comoros at 12°S about 1.0×, so the map shows Luxembourg as 3.58× the size of Comoros instead of 1.56×.
- Together Luxembourg and Comoros cover 4,280 km², close to the size of Cape Verde (3,930 km², 8.3% smaller).
- The gap between them, 936 km², is about the size of Åland (942 km²).
- At Comoros's density, Luxembourg would have 1.4 million people (it has 691,000). At Luxembourg's density, Comoros would have 443,000 (it has 902,000).

Population: Wikidata 2026 and Wikidata 2022, covering each whole country. Official figures: Wikidata (CC0).
- Wikidata's official figure of 2,590 km² agrees with our measured area of 2,610 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 1,670 km² is 18% below Wikidata's official figure of 2,030 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.

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.
