Understanding Projections of Earth

The video tutorial explains different ways to project Earth's round surface onto flat maps. It covers the Mercator projection, useful for navigation but distorts land near the poles, making Greenland appear larger. The Robinson projection accurately represents land masses and proportions. The Conic projection, used in roadmaps and weather maps, projects Earth onto a cone, providing accuracy for small areas.
