A Great Circle is the largest circle that can be drawn on any sphere. Mercator's Chart projection is the great circle chart.
Conic Projection ;p
The type of map projection used by pilots is called a Polar Projection. It shows the Earth from one of the two poles, which helps show what is known as The Great Circle Route. This states that if you live on a rounded object such as the Earth, you travel on a curved line. This makes a Polar Projection the best choice and most commonly used map projection used by pilots.
No, a circle on a pedigree typically represents a female. A square is used to represent a male in a pedigree chart.
A BACK AZIMUTH IS A PROJECTION OF THE AZIMUTH FROM THE ORIGIN TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE AZIMUTH CIRCLE. i.e. THERE ARE 360 DEGREES IN AN AZIMUTH CIRCLE, THUS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IS 180 DEGREES.
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.
Navigators use a Mercator projection chart to plot great circle routes. This chart allows them to draw a straight line, which represents the shortest distance between two points on a curved surface such as the Earth. By following this route, ships and planes can save time and fuel compared to following a rhumb line route.
No. A straight line on a mercator map is a path of constant bearing, but this will not generally be a great-circle route.
In general, no ... only if the two points are on the equator. The Mercator is probably the worst possible projection on which to try and identify great-circle routes and distances, true directions, and true sizes or shapes of anything.
This imaginary line is called the great circle. A great circle is the shortest distance between two point on a sphere. On a flat map the great circle route takes the shape of the arc of a circle due to the projection method used to fit the path on the earth's sphere to a flat surface.
Yes, a circle graph and a pie chart are the same thing
A polar projection of the earth shows a pole (north or south, depending on the projection) at the center of a circular map. The equator is the circumference of the circle.
A pie chart
A cone shown in a circle
Isometric~!!
A pie chart?
The projection of the movie was great.
