Top 10 Longest rivers of the planet
In practice there are many factors that affect how the entire length of a river is calculated, for example determining where to originate, locate the estuary, as well as the size of the means of measuring the length from the source to the estuary. Hence the length of the lot of the river is just the approximate length. In particular, there are many debates about whether the Nile or the Amazon River is the world's longest river. The Nile is now considered to be the longest river in the world, but a few years ago Brazilian and Peruvian scholars have theorized that the new Amazon River is the longest river. Let's see the Top 10 longest rivers on the planet for an answer.

The Obi River flows to the west and north until it reaches the latitude 55 ° north, where it bends northwards, and again northwards, and eventually turns north to the northeast to fill the Bay of Obi, a 966 km (600 mi) Bay of the Kara Sea, linking into the Arctic Ocean.

The Congo River is also one of the world's largest water flow and basin rivers. The Congo River basin covers an area of 3,680,000 km² and the large water season flows approximately 41,800 m³ per second. Located in the rainy ring area of Africa, the Congo River carries many second countries, only after the Amazon River. As a river of shipping can flow into Africa, the Congo River is a major transport artery and has a prominent role in the history of the region.
