World Map Projections

by poonam bisht



World Projection Maps section of MapsofWorld provides world maps in different projections. Different projection styles of maps are used depending on the purpose and need of a map.

Earth is spherical, while a map is flat. Hence, map projections are necessary to depict the earth’s surface on a flat surface.
Flat maps have to use a projection style to display the earth’s spherical features. All projection styles distort the proper shape of the earth’s land and water masses in some way.




Different Projections of Maps

Mercator Projection, Aitoff Projection, Eckert V Projection, Robinson Projection, Miller Projection, and World from Space are a few projection styles shown in the world projection maps section.
