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 kind of map does a polar projection map show?
Polar Area
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 type of map shows distortion increase with distance from the poles?
Polar Projections
Which map projection does Cuba use?
The map projection that Cuba uses is equirectangular projection. It shows the equidistant or constant spacing map representation of the country.
What is the Robinson map projection?
The Robinson projection shows the entire world map at once.
What are the positives and negatives of a polar projection map and the Peters projection Map?
in a polar projection you can the northern hemisphere, a mercador projection where you can see stretched out land.

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 is the center on the arctice region polar projection map?
North pole
What is the center on the Arctic region polar projection map?
The center on an Arctic region polar projection map is typically the North Pole. This projection shows the Arctic region as if it were viewed from above the North Pole, with lines of longitude radiating out from the center.
What type of map shows distortion increase with distance from the poles?
Polar Projections
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.
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.
Three types of global maps?
Thematic map, reference map , and satellite maps.
