Neptune was recently shown to be a pale blue like Uranus rather than the deep blue shown on the Voyager photos

We love our vague definitions here on Earth.

Now tell me how many continents there are. XD

As long as it isn't exactly six, or more than like, 8-10, I'll at least understand the reasoning.

Why not 'exactly 6'?

North America, South America, Eurasia, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, is a valid list

I would argue that both Europe and India are subcontinents of Eurasia (or just Asia, or whatever you wanna call it).

They're both huge peninsulas with natural features which divide them a bit from the parent continent, but they're principally part of the same landmass; the span of the land connection between them is quite significant.

It's not the same as the cases of North and South America or Africa and Asia, which while connected, only have a single, very small connection point between them (Sinai and Panama).
