What kind of distortion, if any, occurs on a planar projection, and where?
Figure 4.5a shows Earth on a planar projection, in which the globe is projected onto a plane. This is a gnomonic projection and is generated by projecting a light source at the center of a globe onto a plane that is tangent to (touching) the globe’s surface. The resulting increasingly severe distortion as distance increases from the standard point prevents showing a full hemisphere on one projection.
