I think it's part of N. America, but it belongs to Denmark politically. I think it's about the size of Mexico.

Greenland is not a continent. Greenland is considered to be the world's largest island. Australia is a vast continent, far bigger than Greenland. As far as how big, you'll have to do your own homework for that part.

Australia is larger than Greenland and Greenland is not a continent but is the world's largest island.

Greenland is smaller than Australia (2.1 vs 7.7 million square km), and it is not considered to be a continent. It's part of the continent of North America.

Greenland is considered the world's largest island. and is technically considered part of North America. Continents have their own unique portion of a mesa like rise of the crust to form continental shelf. Greenland meets this definition but for some reason, probably inertia, remains an island.

Greenland is NOT a continent, therefore, the answer is no without even considering the size of either. It is part of North America.

greenland isnt a continent and greenland is actually smaller than it is as it appears on a map. Greenland isn't as big as you would think it is

It LOOKS larger, on a flat map (Mercator projection) but if you measure it on a globe, where the sizes of areas near the poles are not distorted, you will see that Greenland is much smaller than Australia.
