In my country, there is the driest desert in the world, called ATACAMA. That's lots of As and I read once a japanese paper that said that a name ending with an A where easier to remember. Maybe that`s why there are plenty of japanese car model called like that: Acura, Mazda, Honda, Toyota.\nGood luck!\n\nRodrigo

Antarctica is the largest "cold" desert.  YES,  it is classified as a desert! It doesn't get rainfall that plants can use it only gets snow.\n\nThe largest hot desert would be the sahara in northern Africa.

The Sahara is the world's largest non-polar desert, over 9,000,000 km² (3,500,000 mi²), about the same size as the United States. \n\nThe United States's total area is 3,718,711 square miles (9,631,418 km²), of which land makes up 3,537,438 square miles (9,161,923 km²) and water makes up 181,273 square miles (469,495 km²).\n\nSo, in this comparison, the United States is larger.

It really depends on what your definition of "biggest" is, as a canyon can be "large" by its depth, length, or the total area of the canyon system.\n\nThe deepest canyon in the world, Yarlung Tsangpo Canyon, along the Brahmaputra in Tibet, China, is slightly longer than Grand Canyon, and is also regarded by many as be the world's largest canyon.\n\nHells Canyon is a canyon in Idaho, roughly 16 km (10 miles) across; not as dramatic as the Grand Canyon, which is 277 miles (446 km) long. However, the sense of depth there is tremendous.\n\nHope this helps!

Depends on which desert.  I live in Albuquerque NM, which is in a desert.  We have a vast (but shrinking) reserve of water under the ground.\n\nAlso, the largest body of fresh water in the world, Lake Vostok in Antartica is burried under miles of ice in a desert area.

The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert, over 9,000,000 km² (3,500,000 mi²).  \n\nThe volume of a grain of quartz sand with a diameter of 0.060 mm (a lower bound) is 1.13 x 10^-13 m^3 with a mass of 3.00 x 10-13 g. As an upper bound, the volume and mass of a grain of sand with a diameter of 2.10 mm are 4.85 x 10-9 m3 and 1.28 x 10-8 g.[1].\n\nThe deposits of the modern-day Sahara are generally less than 100 meters thick, though there are some sandy landforms that can reach 450 meters high. (3)\n\nArea of the Sahara: 9 000 000 (km^2) = 9.0 × 10^12 m^2.\nDepth of the sand in the Sahara: approx 100m\nVolume of sand in the sahara: (9.0*10^12)*(100m) = 9.0*10^14 m^3.\nVolume of a grain of sand: 1.13 x 10^-13 m^3\n\nTherefore the # of grains of sand in the Sahara is: (9.0*10^14 m^3)/(1.13 x 10^-13 m^3) = approx 8.0x10^27 grains of sand or 8000000000000000000000000000 grains of sand or 8 octillion grains of sand.
