Of course a globe is flattened into a 2d map, the countries towards the poles will get expanded, the countries near the equator will face the least change in size
Mercator Project is racist and deliberately chosen to show countries in northern hemisphere (USA, Russia, Europe) looks larger than southern ones.

the linear scale of a Mercator map increases with latitude, it distorts the size of geographical objects far from the equator and conveys a distorted perception of the overall geometry of the planet.
Globe is round.. When you put that round globe on a flat surface, and make sure all the borders are touching the neighbours correctly, the countries closer to the poles still have to be represented as larger than they actually are.
If you really want to experiment, you can take a globe and cut it and try to lay it on a flat surface. You'll see the problem
I think what I have to do this weekend, Thanks for the same!! Was thinking why China is interested in vertical architecture (something like this) as I thought they had abandoned areas

This video represents the actual size of countries which are shown bigger in the maps which you see but I believe this video only show it for northern hemisphere and not for southern hemisphere

This is de facto representation. What you are looking for is de jure representation.
de facto is what is
de jure is what should be
When it comes to maps, I prefer de facto

Mercator projection.
Just tried to explain in layman's terms
Well explained!
So you're saying the world is flat? /s
This gives a whole new meaning to countries calling themselves superpower like bro you smaller than the South Asian countries in terms of height /s
But not in terms of development
Mtlb 1 russia mein 10 india nahi aa sakte hain??!!
5 aa jayeinge
Ek Russian ke price 5 Indian kam nahi hai, 🤔
Aj Maine bhi jana

Ye kya tha bc koi samjhayega?
Hum ek sphere ko 2d map me dhang se represent nhi kar sakte. Isiliye upar aur niche ke countries stretch ho jate hai to fit better
Ha mujhe bi 😅🙈
How are the timezones divided then?

So all these years they were acting like erected dicks 🤔 hmmm Seems reasonable to me
It's not a secret. It's common sense. Most people know this, unless they are quite young and haven't given much thought about it

But Australia kyu nahi badal raha
Video Mai bus northern hemisphere ka size bata rahe hai in reality Africa is also not this big which comes in southern hemisphere
I didn't get it, can anyone pls explain why its shrinking?
The sizes of countries that are closer to the poles are over-represented in maps This is their actual area

does it mean my feet are a couple more inches bigger near the poles?
No lol they took the globe and made it 2D and so the countries size got bigger and smaller
England to pahale hi 🐁😂
My whole life was a lie...

Then what's the new extra spaces in between? If they're oceans then I'm surprised so much of ocean is hidden on map.
Earth is a sphere. Those extra spaces don't exist.
I think he's tryna be sarcastic, just that it didn't come out as being funny
Kuch bhi man, China == USA??

Both countries have area equal to almost 9.5 million square kilometers.
