Map Projections A way of representing the earth’s curved surface on a flat surface of map is known as map projections. A globe represents the most accurate position‚ place of different things present on earth but a globe is not practical for many of the functions for which we require a flat map. Map projections help us to represent most of the earth’s surface at a wide variety of scales‚ on a flat‚ easily transportable surface. A globe is the true representation of distance‚ direction‚ area‚

point at which the equator and the prime meridian intersect is called `0.` From here‚ numbered lines of longitude increase in 15 degree increments and run parallel to the prime meridian. Running parallel to the equator in increments of 10 degrees are latitude lines. At the intersection of these lines are locations on the globe. World globes are equipped with a variety of helpful features. These features will aid your study of our beautiful planet Earth. Read more: Write short composition of 250-300
