Lastly, extrapolate that distance calculation to the whole map in order to get a full picture of the size of the entire globe. The original post’s methodology is quite simple: calculate the time the Gaang took to travel from two known locations (Senlin Village and Crescent Island), calculate the speed of Appa, and multiply those two figures to calculate distance. Disclaimer: this is going to be a long one. My post here is intended to remedy those errors in order to create the most accurate size calculation of the Avatar world ever. However, while I am completely convinced by this post’s methodology, I have discovered several glaring errors. After considering the various calculations you can find on the internet, I settled on this post as the most thorough, accurate, and faithful to the data in the show we can actually measure. I have always wanted to know what the size of the Avatar world is. Detailed explanations on how I arrived at each of the above values and images showing visual representations can be found in the full length post. This is 49% the size of Earth, or about 3/4 of the way between Mercury and Mars. Taking into account the new 18-hour travel time, 27.04/24.74-mph ship speeds, and ~13-inch circumference length, the more accurate size of the Avatar world is 12,287.64 miles or 19,775.04 kilometers.

Third, the canon rectangular map is missing the round edges of the canon polyconic projection, so the circumference is actually ~13 inches, not the original post’s 9 3/8 inches. However, his ship slowed down to 24.74 mph after being damaged by the blockade. Second, it used an Appa speed of 21 mph based on pre-dreadnought battleship speed, while it’s more likely Fire Navy ships were early super-dreadnoughts, of which Zuko’s ship could travel up to 27.04 mph. First, it used a 24-hour travel time from Senlin Village to Crescent Island, while it was more like 18 hours using the sky and dialogue as references plus taking timezones into account. TL DR: The original post I considered to be the most accurate calculation of the Avatar world’s size has three glaring flaws. I hope it intrigues you enough to look for the details in the long-form version! This is a behemoth of a post, so I’ll include the TL DR at the top. These avatar themed subreddits are fully or partially run by moderators of /r/TheLastAirbender They build towards LoK and answer some questions left at the end of ATLA.
