Answer:

Map projections

Explanation:

Its a systematic transformation of the latitude and longitudes from the surface of a sphere to the locations on plain. Map is created from drawing the projections. Depending upon the projections and the area to be shown some distortions may be allowed keeping the idea of Shape, direction, bearing , distance , scale and area.

Various classification have been emerged like :

Preserving direction (azimuthal or <u>zenithal</u>),

Preserving shape locally (conformal or <u>orthomorphic</u>).

Preserving area (equal-area or <u>equiareal </u>or equivalent or authalic).

Preserving distance (equidistant).

Preserving shortest route, a trait preserved only by the <u>gnomonic projection</u>

2. The sky is blue because:
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Air molecules scatter blue light more efficiently than other colors.

Explanation:

The sunlight has many colors and each of them has a different wavelenght. The color blue has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than the other colors. So, as sunlight goes through the air, the blue part causes charged particles to oscillate faster than the red part does and it is scattered more efficiently than the other colors and that's the reason for the sky to be blue.
