World maps can often be misleading due to how the three-dimensional earth is projected onto a two-dimensional surface. Different projections distort various elements such as size, shape, or distance. One of the most famous projections is theMercator projection, often criticized for enlarging the si...

After all, London and Calgary lie at roughly the same latitude—but you’d never suspect it just eyeballing the map, especially given their vastly different climates. How distortions affect weather maps If our maps ...
