In this video, we examine Why All World Maps Are Wrong. If I told you that this familiar map makes Greenland look much larger than India, you might be surprised, but that’s exactly what it shows! In reality, you could fit two Greenlands inside India. So why do we still use a map drawn over four hundred years ago?

If you look closely, countries near the equator appear smaller, and those farther away look bigger. That means that if Russia were near the equator, it would appear tiny, and if India were farther away, it would appear huge. This happens because our planet is round, and turning a sphere into a flat map stretches the land at the top and bottom, making places near the poles seem much larger than they are.
