Which of these tools is the most accurate method of showing the entire earth?
A globe is the most accurate tool for showing the entire earth as it represents the planet's round shape in three dimensions, providing a realistic portrayal of its landmasses and bodies of water. Other tools like maps or digital mapping applications can distort geography due to their flat representations of the earth.
Why do people think the earth is round?
People think the Earth is round because of evidence from scientific experiments, observations, and calculations that point to its spherical shape. Additionally, images from space missions and satellites show the Earth as a globe.

What is a system for mapping the round the earth on a flat surface called?
Its called a projection map
What properties do flat maps distort?
Flat maps distort properties such as size, shape, distance, and direction of geographic features on the Earth's surface due to the challenge of representing a 3D spherical surface on a 2D plane. This distortion becomes more pronounced the further away from the equator you get.
