How The World Map Looks Wildly Different Than You Think? #shorts

Did you know the world map you grew up with is lying to you?
This is the map most of us know. But here’s the catch: it’s wildly distorted. Countries near the
poles look massive, while equatorial nations are unfairly shrunk. And Greenland? It looks as big
as Africa here... but in reality, Africa is 14 times larger. Speaking of Africa, did you know it can fit
the USA, China, India, AND most of Europe inside it?
Here’s what the world really looks like! The Gall-Peters projection shows countries in true
proportion to their size.
And look at Antarctica! On the Mercator map, it’s this giant beast. But in reality? It’s nowhere
near as dominating.
There are tons of map styles! Each one distorts something—shape, size, or distance. So, next
time you look at a map, remember—what you see isn’t always the whole truth.
