Robinson's map is much more accurate. Mercator's is very out of proportion. If you notice, mercator's map shows Greenland larger than South America, when South America is actually the bigger of the two.

Would Greenland be smaller on a Mercator or a Robinson map projection?
It would show up smaller on a Mercator map projection
What type of map is a Mercator map?
Mercator is not a map, but a map projection, i.e. a way of representing the continents on a map. The Mercator projection is only accurate between 30 degrees north and south latitude. The further away you go from that point, the greater the exaggeration.
What is the best map projection to use?
Robinson Projection because it has minor distortions, the sizes and shapes near the eastern and western edges of the map are accurate, and outlines of the continents appear much as they do on the globe.
How do Mercator Robinson and Conic projections differ?
Mercator and conic projections are different because conic projections have a cone/triangle shape and they are the same because both are type of maps..... I know really bad answer but I hope this helped
If the continents were drawn using a Mercator projection are the chances improved of finding a fit?
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'
How are a mercator projection and an Robinson projection map the same?
what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
What is the name of a map that is not accurate?
Mercator.

What are two map projection?
Two common map projections are Mercator and the Robinson Projection.

How do Mercator and Robinson projections differ?
yes ,Mercator Robinson and conic projections differ because Mercator Robinson is not true it`s Mercator projection . Mercator projections are the grid is rectangular and lines of latitude and longitude are all parallel. conic projections are a map projections of the globe onto a cone with its points over one of the earth`s poles

What is the The difference between Mercator map and equal area map?
Equal-Area maps are more of the true shape, and mercator distorts it more
What are the 3 different types of map projections?
Robinson projection mercator projection interrupted projection =]<3
What did Gerardus Mercator invent?
