Читать книгу Geography For Dummies - Jerry T. Mitchell - Страница 79

No matter how you look at a globe, you can never see the whole world at once (unless you’re in a room full of mirrors, but forget that as a practical solution).

However, it’s often desirable to view Earth in its entirety or to visually compare far away parts of the world. These perspectives aren’t possible on a globe but are possible on flat maps.
