In many maps, Alaska and Texas are often not drawn to scale, leading to misconceptions about their size relative to other states. Alaska is the largest state in the U.S., but its size can appear smaller when portrayed on certain map projections. Similarly, Texas, while large, is frequently depicted in a way that doesn't accurately represent its vast area compared to Alaska. This distortion is due to the challenges of representing a three-dimensional globe on a two-dimensional surface.
