Answer 7

The Nile River in Egypt, first longest river in the world- 4,160 miles long. But if you're thinking of volume... The largest river in volume would be the Amazon River.

The Amazon is the second longest river in the world- about 4,000 miles long. Third longest river is the Yangtze- 3,964 miles long and the fourth longest is Huang He- 3,395 miles long are both in China. Ob-Irtysh is the fifth longest river- 3,362 miles long in Russia.

Answer 8

By volume of water the Amazon has it by a long shot in fact it's volume is greater than the next 10 contenders combined and accounting for 20% of the global river water volume.

Although there is still some debate, the international community also recognizes the Amazon as the longest river by about 400 Km over the Nile.  The debate is based on the difficulty pin pointing the origin of the amazon, but generally it is now accepted that the amazon is longer.

The Nile River

Answer 19

The largest river (by sheer volume) is the Amazon River in Brazil. It is larger than the next top ten rivers after it put together.  The Amazon River accounts for over 1/5 of the world's total river flow.  

Officially, the Nile River in Africa is the world's longest river. It is 6650 km long, whereas the Amazon is 6400 km long, although recent research shows that the Amazon may actually be longer (it is actually extremely hard to get a good measurement).
