Topographic map
Three types of projection include planar (the globe is projected onto a flat sheet, with only one point of the globe touching the surface), cylindrical (the globe is projected onto a cylinder with the all points along a great circle touching the surface), or conical (the globe is projected onto a cone with two lines of parallel touching the reference surface).
One line is a projection that maintains accurate distances from the center of the projection or along given lines it is called an equidistant projection. Another line is a cylindrical projection which projects information from the spherical Earth to a cylinder.
To suggest that map projection of satellite imagery on to a GLOBE greatly distorts the images around the poles is a complete lie. Distortion at the poles when projecting a globe on to a flat map is known to cause distortion as the meridians are spaced much farther apart at the equator than at the poles. To claim the same applies to a globe is crazy. How would a satellite image around a ball cause distortion in one area vs another? Simple, it would not!
A map projection simply is a representation of the round, 3D surface of the earth onto a flat, 2D map. There are different map projections such as Mercator and Robinson each of which have advantages and disadvantages.The appropriate projection for a map depends on the scale of the map and the purposes for which it will be used. For example, a Mercator projection has straight rhumb lines and is therefore excellent for navigation, because compass courses are easy to determine, but there is distortion near the poles.
Mercator is the type of projection which has parallel lines of longitude which disappear near the poles. The project in question also presents parallel lines of latitude even though the overall clarity gets distorted around both the North and South Poles.
conic projections are made by projecting points and lines from a globe onto a cone
It will roll around. To make a flat map from a round globe, a projection is used. In making the projection not all measures can be preserved and so distances will be stretched for some areas, and straight lines on the projection will correspond to curved lines on the globe. There are different projections that can be used which try to minimise the effect on different measures.

The answer to this depends on what projection of map you are using and how wide the columnal support on the globe is. Typically though, you'll have a better chance of seeing the lines of longitude converging at the poles on a globe. If you want to see the actual point of convergence, a better choice would be a map projection that has special carve-outs on the bottom for the poles or a "pole perspective projection" which is similar to the map of the Earth used on the UN Flag.
All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, except the poles ,which are dot/points.
The Mercator projection does that.
Parallel projection does not produces realistic views whereas perspective projection produces realistic viewin parallel projection lines of projection are parallel whereas in perspective projection lines are not parallel and the point where these lines meets is called ceter of projection in case of perspective projection
Yes. The intersection of a line of longitude and a line of latitude is a point on the globe, and that point is identified by the longitude and latitude of those lines.
Well, Greenland is BIGGEST on a mercator projection but on a Robinson it is smaller because the lines of latitude remain parallel, and lines of longitude are curved as they are on the globe. This results in lesser distortion near the poles. So your answer is most likely, no. DEPENDING on what map you look at.
Projection lines are used to establish relationships of part featurues between rotated veiws of the same drawing.
a) planar projection B) cylindrical projection
If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.
