The main stream of the Nile stretches 6,671 kilometers from its headwaters to its estuary, making it the longest flowing river in the world. The basin covers an area of about 3.35 million square kilometers.
Amazon. The total length is 6,440 kilometers (but recently American geological surveyors have repeatedly determined that the Amazon River is 6,751 kilometers long and covers an area of 7.05 million square kilometers, accounting for about 40% of the total area of the South American continent; It is the longest river in the world, the largest river in the world, and the river with the widest basin area.
I can only say that I was also surprised by this result, last year's college entrance examination was based on the Nile, and now I don't know which one. How to write your textbook, you should ask your geography teacher. Now it's most likely the Amazon.

Please see the official information.
The Nile is long At 6,650 kilometers, it is the longest river in the world.
The Amazon River basin covers a large area of the Amazon River. The total length is 6440 km.
The Amazon River flows at 219,000 cubic meters per second, which is several times larger than the other three major rivers, the Nile, the Yangtze and the Mississippi combined, and is about equivalent to the flow of seven Yangtze rivers, accounting for 20% of the world's river flow. The basin covers an area of 6,915,000 square kilometers, accounting for 40% of the area of South America; There are more than 15,000 tributaries.
-
The Nile River is 6,650 kilometers long, the Amazon River is 6,751 kilometers long, and the area is 7.05 million square kilometers.
The Amazon is longer, of course.
-
The Amazon River is shorter than the Nile, but the Nile is in the desert and the Amazon is in the rainforest, so the Amazon River basin is larger and the estuary is 30km wide.
-
The main stream of the Amazon is mainly near the equator, and the basin has a predominantly tropical rainforest climate with abundant precipitation. The middle and lower reaches of the Nile flow through tropical desert climate zones with scarce precipitation and high evaporation.
Why is the length of the Nile much longer than the Amazon, but the water of the Nile is far less than that of the Amazon.
The main stream of the Amazon is mainly near the equator, and the basin has a predominantly tropical rainforest climate with abundant precipitation.
The middle and lower reaches of the Nile flow through tropical desert climate zones with scarce precipitation and high evaporation.
The Amazon River flows through the area mainly in the tropical rainforest area, and the tropical rainforest is completely hidden in the annual precipitation, so the Amazon River has a large amount of noise and a wide drainage area, while the Nile River mainly flows through the tropical desert area and the savannah region, and it is divided into two dry places, and the amount of water becomes very small when it is the dry season.
The Amazon basin has a tropical rainforest climate with abundant precipitation throughout the year. There are many tributaries on the surface of the earth, and the amount of water flowing into the Amazon River is very large, resulting in the Amazon River becoming the largest river in the world.
The Nile River basin has a predominantly savannah climate and a tropical desert climate with less precipitation; There are few tributaries developed on the surface of the earth, and the amount of water flowing into the Nile is small; The Nile basin has an arid climate and consumes a lot of water through evaporation. As a result, the Nile has less water.
-
The length of the Nile is more than 200 kilometers longer than that of the Amazon, but the volume of water in the Amazon is dozens of times that of the Nile.
Reason: The Amazon flows through a tropical rainforest climate zone with abundant precipitation throughout the year. The Amazon River basin is the largest river in the world by volume, with many tributaries and large amounts of water flowing into the main stream.
The upper reaches of the Nile flow through the savannah climate zone, with more precipitation during the rainy season. However, the annual precipitation is less than that of the Amazon Plain. There are some tributaries in the upper reaches of the Nile that can bring some water into the main stream, but the downstream flows through the tropical desert climate zone, and not only does not have the tributaries to collect water, but because of the strong evaporation, a large amount of water is lost, so the Nile has less water.
-
The Amazon River is located in a tropical rainforest climate with an equatorial depression and is rainy all year round, so the surface water is quite abundant, while the Nile River is located in a tropical rainforest and tropical desert climate, and flows through the desert, so the flow is smaller than that of the Amazon.
-
The Nile River has a small amount of water because it flows through an area with a more or less dry climate and little precipitation, while the Amazon River flows through a mostly tropical rainforest climate with abundant precipitation and a large flow.

The Nile is a river that flows through eastern and northern Africa and is generally considered to be the longest river in the world, with a length of about 6,650 km, and is one of the three largest river systems in Africa, along with the Congo River in Central Africa and the Niger River in West Africa. The Nile has two main tributaries, the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The Blue Nile, which originates in the Ethiopian highlands, is the most water and nutrient source of the lower Nile, but the White Nile is the longest of the two tributaries.
It originates in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, and its farthest source is located in Rwanda at 2°16'2 south latitude and 29°19's east longitude; , which flows north through Tanzania and into Lake Victoria, from which it overflows into Lake Albert and north into Uganda and the southern part of the Republic of Sudan, where it forms large swampy wetlands. The Blue Nile River originates from the north latitude of Tana Lake in Ethiopia at 12 degrees 2 minutes and seconds, and longitude 37 degrees 15 minutes and seconds east longitude; , flowing into Sudan from the southeast. Near Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, the White Nile and the Blue Nile meet to form the Nile.
Amazon. It has a total length of 6,440 kilometers and a domain area of 7.05 million square kilometers, accounting for about 40% of the total area of the South American continent. Together with the Nile, it is the longest river in the world, the largest river in the world in terms of flow and the widest basin area. With a total length of about 6,751 kilometers, the main tributaries of the Amazon River meander through seven countries in South America, starting from the source of the Ucayali-Apurimac river system in Peru.
The Amazon River is called the Solimos River from Iquitos in Peru to Manaus in Brazil, and the section from the mouth of the Negro River to the Atlantic Ocean is called the Amazon River. Its westernmost source is the towering Andes Mountains, less than 160 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean, and its estuary is in the Atlantic Ocean, which flows about 6,600 cubic kilometers of water into the Atlantic Ocean every year, equivalent to 1 6 of the total amount of water injected into the oceans by the world's rivers. The estuary is 240 kilometers wide and flows 180,000 cubic meters per second during flooding periods, and the amount of water flowing down to 160 kilometers from the shore is degraded.
Most of the basin has a tropical rainforest climate.

The Nile River is the longest river in the world, originating in the Burundi Plateau in northeast Africa, and flowing through nine countries, including Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Zaire, Sudan, Ethiopia and Egypt, with a total length of more than 6,600 kilometers. It eventually flows into the Mediterranean Sea and is one of the world's largest international rivers flowing through the country.
Because the middle and lower reaches of the Nile have been inhabited for a long time, but due to the barrier of waterfalls, people in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile think that it is impossible to understand the source of the river, hence the name Nile. The second is that the word "Nile" evolved from the name of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh (king) Nilus.
The Nile is formed by the confluence of three rivers: the Kagera, the White Nile, and the Blue Nile. The lower Nile valley is one of the earliest cradles of human civilization, where ancient Egypt was born. Today, 96% of Egypt's population and the vast majority of industrial and agricultural production are concentrated here.
As a result, the Nile is seen as the lifeline of Egypt.
For thousands of years, the Nile River has been flooding regularly every year from June to October. When the river was at its highest in August, it flooded large fields on both sides of the riverbank, after which people moved to higher places. After October, the floodwaters subsided, bringing with them the rich soil of the Nile.
On these fertile soils, people cultivated crops such as cotton, wheat, rice, dates, etc. A green corridor has been formed over the arid desert area. And Egypt, an ancient civilization of 5,000 years, created a glorious Egyptian culture here.
Today, more than 90% of Egypt's population is located in the Nile plains and deltas. The Egyptians called the Nile their mother of life.
The Nile runs through the northeastern part of the African continent, flows through Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, crosses the Sahara Desert, the world's largest area, and finally empties into the Mediterranean. The basin covers an area of about 3.35 million square kilometers, accounting for one-ninth of the African continent, with a total length of 6,650 kilometers and an average annual flow of 3,100 cubic meters per second, making it the longest river in the world. Nile River – Arabic for "great river".
Nile, Nile, Changbi Tianhe", is the proverb of the Sudanese people praising the Nile.

So the real length ranking, should be:
1.Amazon-Ucayali River: 7025
2.Nile - White Nile - Lake Victoria - Kagera River: 6673

The Nile River is a river that flows through eastern and northern Africa, and is one of the three largest river systems in Africa, along with the Congo River in Central Africa and the Niger River in West Africa. At 6,670 km long, the Nile is the longest river in the world.
Amazon River. It has a total length of 6,440 kilometers and a basin area of 7.05 million square kilometers, accounting for about 40% of the total area of the South American continent. It is the second longest river in the world, the largest river in the world, and the most extensive river basin in the world.
The longest river in the world is the Nile.
-
The Nile is the longest river in the world.
The Amazon River is the largest river in the world and has the widest basin.
-
According to current Chinese textbooks, the longest river has always been the Nile. A few months ago, I saw a news that the Amazon River is actually the longest river in terms of the length of the source, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to change.
-
The longest river is the Nile, and the most extensive basin is the Amazon.
-
The length of a river is not the same concept as the amount of water in the river.
Water volume refers to the average flow per unit of time.
The amount of water depends on the upstream water source. If there is abundant water in the upper reaches, the water of the whole river will be abundant; Less vice versa.
From a geographical point of view, the Nile River originates in the Burundi Highlands on the East African Plateau in the south of the equator, and there are no snow-capped glaciers in this latitude and longitude to continuously provide the water source of the river, and the main water flow is likely to only come from rainwater and underground rivers seeping out of the surface; The Amazon River originates from the top of the Mismi Snow Peak on the eastern side of the Cropurna Mountain in Peru in the middle of the Andes Mountains in South America, and its source, the Ucaria River, continuously receives the icy water on the snow peaks, and collects the water of hundreds of rivers all the way before entering the Amazon Plain to form an endless flow of water; Secondly, the abundant rainfall in the Amazon is also an important reason for increasing water sources and reducing evaporation.
It can be seen that it is normal for the Nile to be less than the volume of the Amazon.
The Blue Nile contains more sand than the White Nile, depending on the area and topography through which it flows. >>>More
