In all cylindrical projections the meridians of longitude, which on the globe converge at the poles, are parallel to one another.As shown in the drawing, the mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection of the spherical globe.
All meridians and parallels are straight lines.These types of projections maintain shape locally while sacrificing other properties;Gerardus mercator, created a revolutionary new map based on a cylindrical projection.
A projection from an infinite point, as if from deep space.Conical or has an azimuthal plane.
135,000) is the capital of the province of north brabant.(1) it is conformal, and.The mercator projection is sometimes confused with another mapping technique, specifically the central cylindrical projection, which projects the earth's surface onto a cylinder tangent to the equator, as if a light source is at the earth's center.
A blazing fast, shader based image projection converter.The central meridian, each meridian 90° away from the center, and equator are straight.
This cylindrical projection, presented by osborn maitland miller of the american geographic society in 1942, is neither equal nor conformal.The earth as they know it is heavily informed by the mercator projection—a tool used for nautical navigation that eventually became the world's most widely recognized map.The projection was designed to be a compromise between mercator and other cylindrical projections.
Accidentally, this misconception is rather close to a truth.It became the standard map projection for navigation because it is unique in representing north as up and south as down everywhere while preserving local directions and shapes.

PARIS -- Faith Kipyegon of Kenya broke her own world record in the women's 1,500 meters at the Diamond League track and field meeting in Paris on Sunday.
Kipyegon finished in 3:49.04, surpassing her record of 3:49.11, which was set in Italy last year.
"I knew the world record was possible because I recently ran very fast in Kenya," said Kipyegon, who clocked 3:53.98 at Kenya's Olympic trials. "I was coming here to just run my race and to see what shape I'm in to defend my title at the Olympics."
Nine other runners in the race achieved personal bests. Jessica Hull of Australia finished second in 3:50.83, smashing her own Oceania record by five seconds. Laura Muir was third in a British record of 3:53.79.
Kipyegon, 30, is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the 1,500, having won in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in 2021. Before Sunday, she had only run twice in 2024, in the 1,500 and 5,000, to secure her spot for the Paris Olympics at the Kenyan trials in June.
Kipyegon's performance came less than an hour after Ukraine's Yaroslava Mahuchikh broke the world high jump record with a leap of 2.10 meters.
