De ce Rusia este pe hartă mai mare decât toată Africa. Care este realitate și care sunt explicațiile științifice

The Mercator projection distorts the size of landmasses, making Russia appear larger than Africa, despite Africa being nearly twice its size. This distortion arises from the projection's method of representing the spherical Earth on a flat surface, exaggerating areas near the poles. Campaigns like 'Correct The Map' aim to promote more accurate representations of the world.
