Question

Why is it not possible to draw an accurate map?

Answer 1

A map is a representation of the Earth’s surface or a part of it on a flat surface. But a map also has its limitations. The biggest limitation is the portrayal of the spherical surface of the Earth on the flat paper. It hinders the drawing of an accurate map. Distortions of shapes, sizes and areas and discontinuity occur in such depictions. Therefore, we have different types of maps to suit the requirements of people.
