If half of this area is water = 1,620,000 kmsq land area Rough estimate of Avatar map area = 1800km x 1800 km = 3,240,000 km square The Avatar world has a 3600km equatorial circumference = Roughly the size of Pluto’s moon Charon (3700 km equatorial circumference)


The visible world of Avatar (only half of the globe) is roughly 1800km across, let’s also assume it’s the distance from the top of the map to the bottom. If the distance from their camp to Whaletail Island is roughly ⅓ of the map. (See Avatar forums: Theory Avatar world and population to see my discussion why this is a fairly accurate estimate.) So average distance is 600 km with the assumption that it’s a 12 hour ride. Appa’s relaxed speed is most likely slower at average wind speed 10kph. I doubt Appa flies that fast all the time though so let’s pin the average at 50 km/hr assuming Zuko and Katara are in a hurry. The first airships in history are only 9km/h while the Zeppelins in the 1900’s run at 84 km/h at top speed. How fast is Appa? The first hint is that Appa can fly faster than a Fire Nation airship.

Take note Appa collapsed in The Chase after nonstop flying so he needs rest time. They were able to go back to the Fire Nation the next day and returned to their camp by sunset.Įdit: They left at midnight, visited an outpost before dawn and arrived 8:00PM there’s probably at least 12 hours worth of travel. They left at the morning and arrived there during the night. Katara and Zuko traveled to Whaletail Island in Southern Raiders from a beach camp near the Western Air Temple. How come Korra only used a speedboat without supplies to go to the Fire Nation? How come Tonraq reached the South Pole from the North Pole using only a small. This is a write-up estimating the size of the Avatar world as well as its population in ATLA and TLOK. Theory: The Avatar world is tiny, smaller than Pluto
