I'm not sure I understand the question. But of course the globe is a sphere, and a sphere can not be correctly represented on a 2D plane (eg. a paper map). The distortion effect is minimised though as the area represented gets smaller.
The other is that grid north and magnetic north differ.

What is the advantage of a gnomonic projection?
a gnomonic map makes countries look longer, distorted, and hard to understand
What is homolosine map projection?
A homolosine map is a map of the earth's surface laid out on the basis of sinusoidal curves, with the interruptions over ocean areas distorted so that the continents appear with minimal distortion.
What is the map projection with the least amount of distortion near the pole?
A Globe. It can be an exact scale model of the earth!
What is a importance of map projection?
Map projection is important because it allows us to represent the curved surface of the Earth on a flat map. Different projections can be used to accurately depict different properties of the Earth's surface, such as distance, area, or direction. Choosing the right map projection is essential for minimizing distortion and accurately conveying spatial information.
What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.

What two things can be distorted on a projection map?
Reference maps and Thematic maps are the broad categories of maps
Is the planar projection when the map is distorted near the poles?
Yes, in a planar projection, also known as an azimuthal projection, the map can exhibit distortion near the poles. This type of projection typically presents a flat representation of the Earth, which can lead to significant stretching or compression of areas, especially as one moves away from the center point of the projection. Consequently, regions near the poles may appear disproportionately large or distorted compared to their actual size and shape.
What is homolosine map projection?
A homolosine map is a map of the earth's surface laid out on the basis of sinusoidal curves, with the interruptions over ocean areas distorted so that the continents appear with minimal distortion.
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.
Does a Mercator projection show the size shape or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?
None of them. However, the location is distorted the least.

Does the Mercator projection show the size or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'
What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
What A Mercator projection map shows?
accurate directions but has distorted sizes and distances
What map have projection has fairly accurate shapes in the center but increasing distorting toward the edges?
All two dimensional (flat) maps (called projections) of the surface of the Earth have distortion. Several projections are used to create such maps and each is better for some uses and not others. There is no most distorted projection. It depends on the intended use for the map.
