The Nile River is traditionally recognized as the longest river in the world, stretching approximately 4,132 miles (6,650 kilometers) from its source in East Africa to its delta in the Mediterranean Sea.

Trivia: What is the widest river in the world?

The Amazon river.

The title of the widest river is subject to interpretation. The Río de la Plata, formed by the confluence of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers between Argentina and Uruguay, is often considered the widest river, with a maximum width of about 137 miles (220 kilometers).

However, some geographers classify it as an estuary rather than a true river.

Alternatively, the Amazon River in South America is notable for its impressive width. During the dry season, it spans between 2 and 6 miles (3.2 to 9.7 kilometers), but in the wet season, it can expand up to 25 miles (40 kilometers) wide.

The Amazon River is also the second tallest river, its length is around 3976 miles (6,400 kilometers).
