Is the truest representation of the earth a polar projection?
Yes
Is the truest representation of the earth polar projection?
This was my question too. Here is what I know. Polar projection shows the poles. but not really like the whole earth. While the mercator shows a flat globe in certain parts. Mercator is like a map. If its truest representation then I will have to say polar projection wins.
On a polar projection the lines appear as?
prime meridian
What type of map projection is used by airline pilots?
The type of map projection used by pilots is called a Polar Projection. It shows the Earth from one of the two poles, which helps show what is known as The Great Circle Route. This states that if you live on a rounded object such as the Earth, you travel on a curved line. This makes a Polar Projection the best choice and most commonly used map projection used by pilots.
On what type of map does distortion increase with distance from the poles?
The Mercator Projection distorts the size of large objects from the Equator to the poles. It was named for Flemish map make Gerardus Mercator.
Does a polar molecule have two positive sides?
Some molecules are quadrapolar, having two positives and two negatives. Most small polar molecules, like water, have one dominant positive side.
Is a polar projection an example of a azimuthal projection?
yes
Where is the equator in a polar projection?
A polar projection of the earth shows a pole (north or south, depending on the projection) at the center of a circular map. The equator is the circumference of the circle.
What kind of map does a polar projection map show?
Polar Area
What is the polar projection map?
Polar projections are often made in what is called the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection. The projection would be made tangent at the north pole, or at the south pole. These projections allow you to make linear measurements from the pole to any point on earth. These measurements are the shortest distances from the pole to the points and can be directly compared to one another. A polar projection shows the poles; I learned it in my science class.
What is advantages of polar projection map?

What is a polar-projection map?
A map centred on a Pole.

What does a polar projection show?
A map of a location near or in the poles.
What type of map shows distortion increase with distance from the poles?
Polar Projections
What is a drawing that shows both elevation and location?
Topography
