Is everything really bigger in Texas? Pretty much.

If youā€™re a Texan, you know this.

If youā€™re not, itā€™s difficult to convey just how much bigger things really are -- literally and figuratively.

There are big oil companies and thereā€™s big money, not to mention the fact that the state is home to three of the 10 biggest cities in the U.S. -- Houston, San Antonio and Dallas -- and, of course, some of the longest stretches of highway youā€™ll find anywhere.

Did you know a drive from Detroit to Atlanta -- a commute that takes you through parts of five states -- is shorter than the drive between some Texas towns or cities? Or what about the fact that a drive from New York City to Savannah, Georgia, can be shorter than going from one part of Texas to another? Kind of mind boggling, isnā€™t it?

Aside from everything being bigger, there is so much more to the Lone Star State. So much that, in honor of National Texas Day on Feb. 1, weā€™ve thrown together a quiz to test your knowledge on all things Texas.

Weā€™d love to hear how you did in the comment section below.
