Strange for that wikipedia page to not contain a single graphic representation of what's being described.

The wiki's sources have a picture: https://www.cntraveler.com/story/more-than-half-the-worlds-p...

Perhaps you'd like to be the one to ask the graphic's author for permission to add it to Wikipedia, or you'd like to create a graphic to add yourself.

I had loaded that page and didn't see one, I guess it must require javascript.

The DIAMETER of such an area is very roughly 12 percent of Earth's CIRCUMFERENCE. So you could (probably) lay 8 of these areas around the equator, give or take a a couple.

The earth’s circumference is ~4E4 km; the diameter of this circle is ~8E3 km. That’s 20%, not 2%. 2% would be utter madness.

Thanks for pointing that out. Its different now

20%, not 2%. So just under 5 would stretch around the equator.
