Gravity is a fundamental underlying force in the universe. The amount of gravity that something possesses is proportional to its mass and distance between it and another object. This relationship was first published by Sir Issac Newton. His law of universal gravitation says that the force (F) of gravitational attraction between two objects with Mass1 and Mass2 at distance D is: F = G(mass1*mass2)/D squared. (G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.). Einstein's theory of relativity adds to this.
Confidence votes 211K. Alaska is the largest state in the US by far. It is 663,000 square miles, compared to the second largest Texas at 269,000 square miles.

On your website (Facts about North Georgia and the entire state), it states that Georgia is the Largest state east of the Mississippi. Not true. Michigan is far, far larger at 96,810 square miles. Florida and Wisconsin are also larger. Actually, we were quite surprised by this statement. Since elementary school we have always been taught that Georgia was the largest state east of the Mississippi. We decided to check the World Almanac And Book of Facts for the answer, and indeed, Georgia is the largest state.
