∙ 8y agoMapping a 3D object using 2D technology always distorts the relative size of the object and its features.
A globe may give you a more true idea of the size of land near -- North -- or under -- South -- the poles.
You can shop for a true, continental true-size 2D map and review the actual size of continents compared with each other.

-- There is no land area around the north pole.
-- Any projected image or printed map of a feature on the Earth's surface must
of necessity be presented in a format that is smaller than the real thing is.
Otherwise it would be quite impossible to view the mop, work with it, fold it etc.

∙ 8y agoAs said below, a 2 dimensional map is a distortion- but remember there IS no land area at the North Pole. It is open ocean.

Do the north and south poles appear larger or smaller in size than they really are?
If they appear at all, they're larger than they "really are", because they don't actually exist in the sense of being physical objects.Maybe you're asking a different question related to a particular type of map projection? If so, which one?
Do skinny people have big dicks?
There is no relationship between overall size and penis size. A skinny guy may have an average size penis but since it is on a smaller body, it may appear larger than it really is.
Do the land area around the north and south poles apper smaller or larger in size than they really are?
The poles are not actual places, and so they don't have size. Antartica is a larger area than the Arctic. It is also a continent, whereas around the north pole the Arctic is just ice.
Does a scale show measurement of a smaller distance that represents a larger distance?
Yes, but a scale can also be used to show a smaller distance by using a bigger distance (i.e. the opposite of the above). For example, imagine we were drawing a representation of something really small like the structure of an atom. If we wanted to draw this accurately we would have to use a scale which uses a larger distance to represent a smaller one.
Are the continents of Africa and Asia smaller or larger than the rest of the continents combined?
Together, the continents of Asia and Africa make up about 75,000,000 sq km. The rest of the continents together make up just under that amount. So really, they would be neither "very much" larger or smaller, but almost the same.

Why would a director use a high angle and a low shot?
low angle= to make object appear larger than it really is and to make audience vulnerable....... high angle= to make object appear smaller than what it really is and to create the effect that they are insignificant........

Yes.

Which is the primary principle behind the technique of linear perspective?
Objects that are far away appear smaller than they really are.
What scientific tool makes an object appear larger than they really are?
A microscope is a scientific tool that can make objects appear larger than they really are. By using lenses to magnify the image, a microscope allows researchers to study and observe tiny structures and organisms that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.
Does the atmosphere make the moon appear larger at low angles?
No. It's really an "optical illusion". See Link for full explanation
Do panda tails really get shorter as they get older?
A panda bear's tail does not shorten as it gets older. However, the fur thickens around it and the bear grows much larger than its birth size, so it may appear shorter.
Are the top internet providers really better?
There is a reason why larger companies are so successful; they are reliable. Smaller companies tend to be unreliable and of a lower quality (which is why they never expand into larger companies). You get what you pay for.
