What is the word used to describe why maps cannot represent the exact shape and size of the earth?
The word is "distortion" and means the variance caused when trying to represent a three-dimensional surface (like the spherical surface of the Earth) in a two-dimensional form (a map).
There is, of course, no way for a single flat surface to show exactly what a globe shows, and on a globe you can only see half of the surface at any one time.
