map projection

map projection

1. what is: is allow to create a map to see all the planet et the same time but distorted

   • cylindrical: you put an sphere inside of a cilinder then you extend and you have all the map but distorted the North and South Pole are distorted so that the map looks even all the way.
   • conic: Instead of a cylinder, we use a cone. In these maps, the distortions are very few, but you can't see all of the map because of it.
   • azimuthal:We take a central point in a map and create circles using lines.
