The True Sizes of Countries in the World - How Much Does the Mercator Projection Misrepresent Them?
The True Size is an online tool that allows users to compare the sizes of different countries on a map. We all know that the globe we learn on does not accurately represent the real surface areas of lands. This is precisely why this project was created - to help people understand how these areas truly look in relation to one another. By using an interactive map, you can drag and drop the outlines of countries to see how they change when placed in different regions of the world. This method of visualization helps to debunk many myths about the size of individual nations. It is important to note that each manipulation on the map is accurate, making this tool not only educational but also useful in global debates that pertain to borders and surface areas. This tool is freely available and accessible to anyone, making it an excellent resource for teachers, students, and anyone interested in geography.
