Where are land masses distorted on a gnomonic projection?

Land masses are distorted towards the edges of a gnomonic projection, with the distortion increasing as you move away from the center point. The distortion is most noticeable at the outer edges of the map, particularly near the poles.


What is gnomonic chart?

A gnomonic chart is a type of map projection that represents the surface of the Earth on a flat plane, where great circles are depicted as straight lines. This projection is created by projecting points from the Earth's surface onto a tangent plane from the center of the Earth. Gnomonic charts are useful for navigation and route planning because they provide the shortest path between two points. However, they distort shapes and areas significantly, especially away from the center point of the projection.

What are Mercator and Gnomonic projections most common used for?

The Mercator projection is commonly used for navigation and general-purpose world maps due to its ability to accurately represent directions. The Gnomonic projection, on the other hand, is often used for navigational purposes like plotting great circle routes or representing shortest paths between two points on a globe.


What is the type of projection formed by placing a sheet of paper so that it touches the globe at only on point is?

The type of projection formed by placing a sheet of paper so that it touches the globe at only one point is called an azimuthal projection. This projection preserves direction accurately from the central point of contact, making it useful for navigational purposes. Examples include the polar azimuthal and gnomonic projections.
