The "Peter Projection" (also called the Gall-Peters projection) has accurate relative areas but distorted shapes. It is is one specialization of a configurable equal-area map projection known as the equal-area cylindric.
These projections preserve area:
A globe is more accurate than a map because it is a three-dimensional representation of the Earth, which minimizes distortions in shape, size, and distance that can occur on flat maps. This allows for more accurate depictions of the planet's features and their spatial relationships.
An interrupted map is a type of map projection that intentionally distorts the shape, size, or distance of certain areas on a map in order to minimize distortion across the entire map. Interrupted maps often feature breaks or empty spaces to achieve a more accurate representation of the Earth's surface than traditional map projections.
Robinson's map is much more accurate. Mercator's is very out of proportion. If you notice, mercator's map shows Greenland larger than South America, when South America is actually the bigger of the two.
A contour map.
A conformal map preserves shape, meaning angles are maintained. A equal-area map preserves size, meaning areas are accurately represented.

Robinson projection is a map projection of a world map, which shows the entire world at once.
This map expands the water areas in order to keep size and shape of the continents accurate.
the atlas that truckers most use are maps in which show true shape but definitely indignify the size of the map

a globe is a sphere and is the same shape as the earth. it shows the mountains and terrain but does not give you a specific location. the map is better becasue it is more precise.
