Why All World Maps Are Wrong

All world maps are wrong Have you ever wondered the world map you are looking at is a wrong one. Yes, you heard me correct all the world maps you are looking at are wrong. But why ?? is that your question…….. I got it. If you try to peel the outside of the globe off like an orange peel, it would be a challenge to get that orange peel to lay flat like a paper map. Something round, like a globe or a planet, is three dimensional. Something flat, like a paper map hanging on the wall, is two dimensional. The map most commonly used in the world is the Mercator map. This is the map that we see in classrooms all over the world. This is also the map that formulates our basic ideas of what our planet looks like. In fact, even Google Maps uses the Mercator map. This is the problem with every map you’ve ever seen, including Google Maps: They’re all distorted in an attempt to flatten something spherical. Let’s see how actually the map looks likes?? The African problem… Let’s first address the elephant in the room. Africa. In reality, Africa is actually HUGE! It is three times the size of North America, despite the fact that in the Mercator Map, North America looks larger. Here is about Greenland.. There is the Greenland issue. Greenland’s ratio is WAY off. On the Mercator map, it looks as big as Africa, but in truth, it is only 1/14th of Africa’s size! Alaska puny to brazil Alaska is also puny when compared to Brazil – it is 5 times smaller than the South American giant, and even Mexico is larger than Alaska in terms of area. Is Antarctica a huge landmass ?? No china is a bit smaller than that of Antarctica. Africa is double the size of Antarctica. So by now you have got an idea that you have been fooled since your childhood ???? :)
