A globe turns into a map through a process called projection, where the three-dimensional surface of the Earth is flattened into a two-dimensional representation. This involves translating geographical features from the curved surface onto a flat plane, which can distort shapes, sizes, and distances. Various map projections exist, each prioritizing different aspects such as area, shape, or direction, resulting in trade-offs in accuracy. Ultimately, this transformation allows for easier navigation and visualization of geographic information.
