Goode's Homolosine Projection

Goode's Homolosine Projection is a map projection that combines two different types—interrupted Mollweide and Sinusoidal—to display Earth’s surface. It accurately represents landmasses with minimal distortion and less shape distortion than traditional maps. The map is "interrupted," meaning it splits the oceans into separate sections, making continents look more proportional and easier to study in detail. This projection is useful for visualizing global patterns and land distributions without the distortion seen in some other map types, providing a clearer view of continents while sacrificing continuous ocean representation.
