Wonderopolis. If you count Europe and Asia as one continent (called Eurasia), then there are six continents.

Some geographers regard Europe and Asia together as a single continent, dubbed Eurasia. [109] In this model, the world is divided into six continents, with North America and South America considered separate continents. Sytas, Andrius; O'Donnell, John (17 December 2021).

Oceanic islands are frequently grouped with a nearby continent to divide all the world's land into geographical regions.

[17] Combined with the consolidation of the Americas, this would produce a four-continent model consisting of Afro-Eurasia, America, Antarctica, and Australia. p. 116: The Arabian Subcontinent later, approximately 35 million years ago, collided with southern Eurasia to form the Zagros Mountains of southwestern Iran.
