Question
Not a single map projection represents the globe truly. Why?
Solution
1. Map projection project the network of latitudes and longitudes on a plain surface by using the geometrical and mathematical methods.
2. It is transformation of the spherical network of latitudes and longitudes on a plain surface.
3. The globe is true representation of earth.
4. The projections give a shadowed picture of the globe which is distorted in those parts which are further away from the point where the paper touches the globe.
