Typhoon Tip was the largest tropical cyclone on record, with a diameter of 1,380 mi (2,220 km).
This is almost double the previous record of 700 miles (1,130 km) set by Typhoon Marge in August of 1951.
At its largest size, Tip was nearly as big as half of the United States.
When Tip was at its peak strength, the temperature inside the eye of was 30° C (86° F), which is high for a tropical cyclone.
Also, with 10-minute sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h), Typhoon Tip is the strongest cyclone in the list of tropical cyclones by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

The typhoon was also the most intense tropical cyclone in the world.
It had a minimum a pressure of 870 mbar (hPa, 25.69 inHg), which is 6 mbar (hPa, 0.17 inHg) lower than previous record set by Typhoon June in 1975.
The records set by Tip still exists, although because Reconnaissance Aircraft missions in the western Pacific Ocean stopped in August 1987, some people think there might be slightly stronger cyclones.
Three researchers found that two typhoons, Angela in 1995 and Gay in 1992, had higher Dvorak numbers than Tip.
They believe that one or both of the two may have been stronger than Typhoon Tip.
Also, Cyclone Monica of 2006 was rated at 869 mb by Dvorak classifications, but this is not considered accurate data.
Because of this, it is unknown if Tip still has the world record.
Despite its record intensity and severe damage, the name Tip was not retired.
It was then reused in 1983, 1986, and 1989.
