you need to familiarize yourself with how Map projections distort the shape and size of land masses, because that's the only way i can imagine you got this idea.

it's not even close, Alaska is way smaller than Europe. go look to some actual statistics. with all of its landmass combined the United States is 0.98x the size of Europe. it's smaller, but barely. they are nearly exactly the same size if you made them both into a circle.
