Polar Area
Equal-Area 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.
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.

Lines of latitude on a polar projection map radiate outward from the center towards the edges of the map. On a polar projection map, the North Pole is typically at the center, while lines of latitude move southward towards the map edges.

Positives of a polar projection map: It accurately represents the area around the poles, making it useful for navigating polar regions. Negatives: Distortion occurs towards the edges of the map, impacting accuracy for equatorial regions. Positives of a Peters projection map: It accurately represents the relative size of landmasses, offering a more equitable view of the world. Negatives: Shapes are distorted, particularly towards the poles, making it less accurate for navigation or land shape representation.
