The Gall Peter's projection is better but still inaccurate. It's pretty much impossible to represent the globe in a 2d, 4-cornered map.

It’s mathematically impossible to represent a sphere on a flat plane without distortion. There is definitely a reason the Mercator projection is so

That's a reach

neither map is accurate. But the second is proportional to the country size

That’s not racist it’s just the way maps where made to try to depict the earth is round

Country chain for the algorithm 😳

both distort (one the surface area, the other the shapes and angles), remember guys: the best map is a globe

at first i thought this was an april fools

ah yes, the famous colonial power of Greenland

It's crazy bc like.... the size of a country isn't relevant to anything! Like it's meaningless

it may do that but it wasn't the purpose of the map. the mercator map was invented for navigation. a straight line on the mercator is a straight line

I'm sorry but this time I must say the caption is completely false. 👇

never knew Greenland was a colonial power

Not racist it is just good for ships

Those “colonial powers” look the same size in both. Also Greenland?

But which one is more readable? That’s what matters, nothing else.

hi, every kind of map is distorted in some way. different maps are used for different things. they either have accurate angles, surfaces or distances>

The only accurate map is a globe.

You litteraly couldn’t be more wrong lmao

I’m sorry to say but no maps that are flat and supposed to represent a sphere are accurate. There are simply ways to flat them out and you change it
