Most cities go on for miles. Or kilometres. Whichever.

LOL. Yeah, I'm pretty sure most spread out over tens of thousands of miles, and some of the larger ones into the hundred thousands. My bet is that Ba Sing Se's about 2-3 million.

There are 26 million miles from Earth to Venus.

So I'd say, yes dear Caleb, 2 million miles in a city is a bit ridiculous.

Glitch-

The distance from Earth to the Moon is only 250,000 miles. So if Republic City is on the low end of your Ba Sing Se estimate, then you're sizing Ba Sing Se up to be about 8x the distance from your laptop to the moon. Avatar must take place on one gigantic planet, but then it's mass would make it a gas giant like Jupiter and technically Jupiter doesn't have a solid surface. But I digress :lol:

(Had to do that sorry haha) :ugeek: :D

LOL fun times XD

Umm yeah, this brings up the whole question of how big the Avatar World is... I'd say smaller than Earth... maybe Mars size?

That is a good question. I wish we could know how fast Appa travels cause it took them nearly an entire season to get from one pole to another. If you don't count the stops on the way, how long would you all say roughly they traveled on Appa?

In "The Waterbending Master" the gAang were flying over water and said they were flying for a few weeks or something. I cant double check because I am an idiot and accidentally deleted all my Avatar episodes on my DVR :cry: :cry: But yeah I think from the NAT it took them about 2 or 3 weeks.?
