I remember being told this in high school and being totally confused. My teacher told us that a standard map, or even a globe, is inaccurate. She explained why but I didn’t understand. Why is this?
In: Technology
*Drags Russia onto US*
*Suddenly realizes how damn long the Trans-siberian is*
Also the size difference between the North and Central Pacific is sneaky, you can cross from LA to Kamchatka using a Russia measuring stick with St Pete in Kamchatka and Vladivostok in LA. Shift St Pete down to Hawaii and Vladivostok can’t make it to Mexico.
