Mind blowing maps. Most maps use something called the Mercator projection. it stretches countries near the poles and shrinks those near the equators So the maps you’ve always seen are not really true to size..#maps#india#brazil#africa#geography

Proyeksi Mercator adalah proyeksi peta silinder yang dipopulerkan oleh kartografer Flandria Gerardus Mercator pada tahun 1569. Proyeksi ini dapat digunakan untuk peta navigasi pelayaran. Namun memiliki kelemahan yaitu menyimpangkan luas daerah yang jauh dari khatulistiwa. Contohnya, jarak antara Norwegia dan Greenland menjadi terlihat begitu jauh, atau luas Greenland terlihat lebih besar dari Amerika Selatan, yang sebenarnya lebih besar dari Greenland.

#Greenland sering terlihat lebih besar daripada yang sebenarnya dalam banyak peta karena distorsi proyeksi Mercator. Namun, jika dibandingkan dengan benua Afrika, perbedaannya sangat besar: Luas Greenland: sekitar 2,16 juta km² Luas Afrika: sekitar 30,37 juta km² Jadi, Afrika sekitar 14 kali lebih besar daripada Greenland. Namun, pada peta Mercator, Greenland sering terlihat hampir sebesar atau bahkan lebih besar daripada Afrika, padahal kenyataannya jauh lebih kecil.
