Question
Not a single map projection represents the globe truly. Why?
Answer in Brief
Solution
However, there is no such projection, which maintains the scale correctly throughout. It can be maintained correctly only along some selected parallels and meridians as per the requirement. Projection is a shadow of globe which has to be presented on a map. When shape of globe changes certainly inaccuracy comes in. Therefore, it is rightly said that not a single map projection represents the globe truly.
