For an untrained eye, maps can be a little bit confusing, especially when it comes to comparing sizes. Since Earth is spherical, representing it on a flat map leads to a certain level of distortion. And if you compare different types of maps, you can clearly see that some areas differ in scale – that’s because there’s no unified method for projection. However, the most common one we recognize is the Mercator projection, suggested by geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator all the way back in 1569.
