representation of the surface of a sphere or ellipsoid onto a plane map
AI overview
A map projection is a method for representing the curved surface of Earth onto a flat piece of paper or screen. Because you cannot flatten a sphere without distorting it, every map projection involves some trade-off in how it shows distance, direction, or shape—which is why different maps are used for different purposes.
