The earth is spherical. By placing a sphere inside a cylinder, cone or beneath a flat surface, every point on the sphere can be transferred or projected on to the surface of the cylinder, cone or flat surface. By cutting open the cylinder or cone, we again get a flat surface. Thus, it is possible to map the earth on a flat surface. That is how the various cylindrical, conical and azimuthal projections are derived.
