Sylinteriprojektio
Sylinteriprojektio, also known as cylindrical projection, is a method used in cartography to represent the spherical surface of the Earth onto a flat, rectangular map. This is achieved by mathematically projecting the globe onto the surface of a cylinder that encloses it. The cylinder is then unrolled to create the two-dimensional map.
There are different types of cylindrical projections, distinguished by how the cylinder is positioned relative to
The Mercator projection, for instance, is conformal, meaning it preserves angles and shapes locally, making it
Cylindrical projections are widely used due to their simple mathematical basis and the rectangular format of
