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
I’m not sure why they would say a globe is inaccurate, but normal two dimensional maps become more inaccurate the further away from the equator you look because it’s taking an area much smaller than the equator and stretching it out to be as wide on the paper as the equator itself.
