Peters Projection

The Peters Projection is a map that accurately represents the sizes of countries and continents, especially near the equator, by preserving their true area proportions. Unlike traditional maps like the Mercator, which can distort size—making landmasses near the poles appear larger—the Peters Projection shows Africa, South America, and Asia more proportionally. This map aims to provide a fairer view of the world’s geography, emphasizing the importance of all regions by accurately depicting their size, helping to address perceptions created by more distorted map types.
