In a Mercator projection, the standard line is typically the equator. This is the line where the scale distortion is minimal, meaning that distances along the equator are most accurately represented compared to other lines on the map.
The Mercator projection is the standard for nautical navigation.
One disadvantage of the Mercator projection is that it distorts the size of land masses towards the poles, making countries near the equator appear smaller than they actually are. This can lead to misrepresentations of true land sizes and distances on the map.
latitude and longitude are the same as the Mercator
Mercator
what is one problem with the mercator projection
a map where the areas far from the equator are exaggerated
On a Mercator map it is a straight line.
Mapping of Earth on a flat surface. ;)
it distorts areas near the poles.
No. A straight line on a mercator map is a path of constant bearing, but this will not generally be a great-circle route.
i think you can see the line easilt

Geardus Mercator invented the Mercator Map in 1569
Well because the Mercator project is made to stretch out so Greenland stretches out and it bigger on the Robinson projection and this is the wrong answer have a good day folks lol jk this is the right answer ppl
