@JeslynL Because the earth is sphere. So we can't put it in the flat map. We can put it like thisBut it cause the problem with the land at the edge of the map. So they  use map projections to solve it. There are many projections but the common one is "Mercator projection"  that we use on the google map.

 Mercator projection of the world between 82°S and 82°N.

Very interesting video @YK1001. @JeslynL thanks for posting this. I am a big fan of Vox and their reporter Johnny Harris. He does very much “thought-provoking” and cultural / societal reporting that makes you think and ponder after watching one of his videos.

@ErmesT, you will really enjoy watching this “how does the world map really work?”

Cheers,

Karen
