Maybe but there's also just lists like this. It's the most basic fact to find I should hope any journalist wouldn't need a special tool to get that kind of fact.
It only has a few examples for each order of magnitude, so in this case we'd get just "between Jamaica and Belgium". Still, I find these pages useful for getting a general idea of what something means, and as fodder for further researching evocative comparisons.
