What fits
- Delhi is 57% of the size of Luxembourg.
- Luxembourg is larger by 1,130 km² (435 mi²), which is 76% of the area of Delhi.
- Measured in Belgiums: Luxembourg is about 0.09, Delhi about 0.05.
How they differ
- Luxembourg is larger, but Delhi has the larger population: 16.8 million against 691,000, 24.3× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 11,325 in Delhi against 265 in Luxembourg: Delhi is 42.8× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,290 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Luxembourg at 50°N is drawn about 2.4× too large and Delhi at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Luxembourg as 3.25× the size of Delhi instead of 1.76×.
- Together Luxembourg and Delhi cover 4,090 km², close to the size of Cape Verde (3,930 km², 4.0% smaller).
- The gap between them, 1,130 km², is about the size of São Tomé and Príncipe (1,040 km²).
- At Delhi's density, Luxembourg would have 29.5 million people (it has 691,000). At Luxembourg's density, Delhi would have 393,000 (it has 16.8 million).
- Luxembourg's centre is 21.1° of latitude, about 2,350 km, farther north than Delhi's.
- Luxembourg ranks 181st of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Delhi is the 32nd largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Luxembourg lies about 21° of latitude (roughly 2,350 km) north of Delhi.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Luxembourg would have about 3,780 m² and each person in Delhi about 90 m².
- Laid side by side, Luxembourg and Delhi would cover 4,090 km², 1.04× the size of Cape Verde.
- Together they have 17.5 million people, about as many people as Guinea.
- Delhi is drawn from 40 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Delhi would rank 183rd by area and 74th by population.

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.
