Understanding Equirectangular Projections
The equirectangular projection is a simple map projection attributed to Marinus of Tyre. This projection maps the globe onto a rectangle, often used for creating maps of the world with a consistent scale, particularly useful for showing global phenomena like satellite data, and, of course, visualizing our favorite amphibian companions.
With this projection, distances are distorted, but it allows for an easily understandable representation of the Earth's surface. It's frequently used in panoramic photos and by various mapping services. Curious about other projections? Visit our Projection Types to learn more!
Frogs Around the World
Did you know there are over 7,000 species of frogs worldwide? Frogs are incredibly diverse and can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Each frog species adapts uniquely to its habitat, making them fascinating subjects of study and admiration. Jump over to our Frog Gallery for a closer look at these amazing creatures!
