What else can I help you with?
Is a projection a way of mapping the flat surface of Earth onto a round globe?
Yes they do
What do map makers use to draw the earth as a flat surface?
Draw the globe stand, then place the globe in it. Then draw the landmarks and do some shading to make the globe look 3Dimensional.
Cartographers can represent the spherical Earth on flat paper by making a which is like casting shadows from the spherical world onto a flat piece of paper?
It is a drawing of the earth on a flat surface
What is a method used by early map makers to represent the world on a flat surface?
they cut it at one spot and then spred it out flat on the map and label
What are the three main types of map projection?
Three types of projection include planar (the globe is projected onto a flat sheet, with only one point of the globe touching the surface), cylindrical (the globe is projected onto a cylinder with the all points along a great circle touching the surface), or conical (the globe is projected onto a cone with two lines of parallel touching the reference surface).
What happens to the images on the globe when they are transfered to a flat surface?
It depends on the projection that is used.
What happens to the images on the globe when they are transferred to a flat surface?
They become distorted since the globe is not flat. Areas away from the equator get represented as much bigger than they really are relative to areas at the equator.

What has 0 flat surface and 0 vertices?
How about globe or a sphere
Can your globe ever be flat?
No, a globe is defined as a three-dimensional representation of Earth, which is a spherical shape. The whole purpose of a globe is to accurately represent the round shape of the Earth, so it cannot be flat.
What is the word used to describe why maps cannot represent the exact shape and size of the earth?
The word is "distortion" and means the variance caused when trying to represent a three-dimensional surface (like the spherical surface of the Earth) in a two-dimensional form (a map). There is, of course, no way for a single flat surface to show exactly what a globe shows, and on a globe you can only see half of the surface at any one time.
What happens to the images on the globes when they transferred to a flat surface?
They become distorted since the globe is not flat. Areas away from the equator get represented as much bigger than they really are relative to areas at the equator.

They become distorted.
Why is a globe more accurate than a flat map to represent Earths surface?
A flat map is two dimensional. A Globe is three dimensional. The Earth is three dimensional. If you try and express a three dimensional object using a two dimensional surface, you introduce distortions. A flat map has distortions, a globe is a truer representation.
What is the one word that describes what happens when you take a globe and make a flat out of it?
Distortion.
What are planar projections?
A planar projection map is a map projected onto a plane (flat surface). The details of the globe are a rectangular shaped map that is on a flat surface.
