Answer:

Mercator projection

Explanation:

Using a flat paper map to represent the sphere that  is our planet has always been a challenge.  The Mercator projection is one of the most common representation, although we know it is more accurate around the Equator line and the precision diminishes as you get closer to the poles.

There are other types of projections, correcting some issues, but with their own flaws too.  The only accurate representation of the planet is a globe, since it matches the shape of the planet.
