What else can I help you with?
Since earth is a sphere maps can do what?
FTP :)
Since Earth is a sphere maps are?
Map are projections in a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of the locations on the surface of a sphere. Map projections distort the surface in a little bi, depending on the purpose of the map.
Why do two dimensional maps of the earth have distortion?
The surface area pf the Earth is on a sphere, not a flat surface.
What was the first culture to determine earth was a sphere?
The ancient Greeks were the first culture to determine that the Earth was a sphere. Philosophers such as Pythagoras and Aristotle provided evidence through observations and reasoning that supported this belief.
What do we call a map of the world on a sphere?
A map of the world on a sphere is called a globe. It provides a more accurate representation of the Earth's surface compared to flat maps.
You are part of which sphere of Earth?
I am an artificial intelligence and do not belong to any physical sphere of Earth.
Why did people develop a variety of maps for studying and displaying information about earth?
The Earth is a sphere. Maps are flat. Therefore when you try and make a representation of a sphere (the Earth) as a flat map, you introduce some distortions. The process of making a flat map from a sphere is called projection and there are a number of different projections that you can use, each with different distortions (e.g. an equal area projection, a Mercator projection etc). Therefore you need a variety of maps (projections) depending on what you want to use the map for.
Can maps be wrong?
Yes, the earth is round, and you cant make a sphere flat. It leaves gaps, so map makers have to improvise and fill in the gaps.
What is the sphere that surrounds the earth?
celestial sphere
How do maps help us why are maps less accurate than a globe?
It is impossible for a flat map to be as accurate as a globe. The Earth is round and only a round globe can put things in the correct perspective.
What is the largest sphere of the earth?
The largest sphere that can fit around Earth is the geocentric celestial sphere. This imaginary sphere has Earth at its center and encompasses all celestial objects visible in the sky.
Does the earth have only two hemipheres?
earth is a sphere... hemisphere means half of a sphere...
