hiii all, this is my 1st post n i wanna know the difference between "in the world" n "around the world".
Hi, everyone. This is my first post and I would like to know the difference between "in the world" and "around the world".

i aint sure abt their application n which one i should use under a certain situation,
I am not sure about their application and which one I should use in any situation.

n also, is it possible that both of them could be used at one situation?
And also, is it possible that both of them could be used in the same situation?

p.s. If there are any mistakes in my words, please give me advice, thank you =)

You cannot use the two phrases to say the same thing, since "around the world" indicates that something is all over the world.
