Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Map projection is the method of transferring the graticule of latitude and longitude on a plane surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -A map projection is a mathematically described technique for representing the Earth’s curved surface on a flat map. The actual mapping cannot usually be visualized as a true geometric projection, directly onto the mapping plane. Rather, it is achieved through mapping equations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conic (tangent) A cone is placed over a globe. Conic (secant) A cone is placed over a globe but cuts through the surface. Cylindrical aspects. A cylinder is placed over a globe. Planar aspects. Polar aspect (different perspectives)
