Mercator Projection: A specific type of map projection that distorts size and shape towards the poles but preserves straight lines, making it useful for navigation.
Robinson Projection: A compromise map projection that attempts to balance distortion of both size and shape, resulting in a visually pleasing representation.
Azimuthal Equidistant Projection: A map projection that accurately depicts distances from one central point but distorts size and shape as you move further away from that point.
