The Amazon River is one of the longest rivers in the world, stretching over 4,000 miles from its source in the Peruvian Andes to its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean. Though its exact length is a matter of debate, most estimates place it somewhere between 6,400 and 6,800 kilometers (4,000 and 4,200 miles).<\/p>\n

The Amazon River is 6,400 kilometers long.<\/p>\n

How long is the Amazon river? <\/h2>\n

The Amazon River’s total length was found to be 4,345 miles (6,992 km). The Nile River is about 4,258 miles (6,853 km), some 125 miles (200 km) longer than previously thought.<\/p>\n

The Amazon is now considered the world’s longest river, after a team of Brazilian scientists found that it is about 176 miles longer than previously thought. This new finding makes the Amazon about 65 miles longer than the Nile. The Amazon is a truly massive river, and this new discovery just goes to show how little we still know about our planet.<\/p>\n
