Want this question answered?
in a polar projection you can the northern hemisphere, a mercador projection where you can see stretched out land.
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.
yes
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.

Yes
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.
A map of a location near or in the poles.
