They project the surface of a sphere (the Earth) using a projection. Often the latitudes and longitudes are mapped onto the coordinate plane for small area but such projections distort shapes when mapping larger areas.
You can't. Not in this universe, anyway. The problem in reverse has challenged cartographers for centuries. How do you map a global earth onto a flat surface? There are many different "projections" that represent various compromises and characteristics, but no two-dimensional representation can completely capture the unique nature of a globe.

people who make maps of the earth's surface are called, cartographers.
just like peeling an orange. draw a map of the earth on an orange flatten the peel and transfer the map to paper you must change the sphere to a plane
Cartographers an represent the spherical Earth on flat paper by making a projection, which is like casting shadows from the spherical world onto a flat piece of paper.
Cartographers use a projection method to show the round Earth on a flat surface. Different types of map projections, such as Mercator or Robinson, are used to represent the Earth's curved surface in two dimensions while minimizing distortion of shape, area, distance, or direction.
