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.
What system for mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
A map projection is a way to represent the curved surface of the Earth on the flat surface of a map.
What is a map that a wedge-shaped portion of the earth?
conic projection
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.

What kind of projection does Google earth use?
Google Earth uses a Simple Cylindrical projection with a WGS84 datum for its imagery base.

What is flat drawing of earth called?
A projection
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.
Which map projection splits the Earth's oceans apart for the sake of showing the sizes and shapes of the Earth's continents more accurately?
The Robinson projection splits the Earth's oceans apart in order to more accurately represent the sizes and shapes of the continents. This projection is a compromise projection that tries to balance the accurate representation of both landmasses and oceans.
What different types of map projection?
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)
