There are a few different ways to measure the length of a river, so it is hard to say definitively which river is longer. The Amazon River is generally considered to be the second longest river in the world, after the Nile River. The Amazon River is about 6400 kilometers (4000 miles) long, while the Nile River is about 6650 kilometers (4145 miles) long. However, because the Amazon River has a much larger basin, it actually carries more water than the Nile River. So, in terms of the amount of water flowing through it, the Amazon River is actually the largest river in the world.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River is the longest river in the world. It is 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles) long. The Nile River is the second longest river in the world. It is 6,650 kilometers (4,132 miles) long.<\/p>\n

Why is the Amazon river longer than the Nile? <\/h2>\n

There is debate among geographers about whether the Amazon or the Nile is longer. This debate stems from whether or not one considers one of the tributaries of the Nile to be part of the Nile itself. However, the Amazon is larger than the Nile in terms of the amount of water that it discharges into the ocean.<\/p>\n

The Amazon is the longest river in the world, measuring 4,345 miles from its mouth to its most distant, year-round source in the Peruvian Andes. The Amazon flows through Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean, making it the second longest river in South America.<\/p>\n
