Answer: The map projections represent simplified versions of the Earth, or other space objects. While they are made to give us the best possible representation of what is depicted on them, they are still too small, and too simplified, to be able to depict the object as it really is in the nature. As one of the biggest problems is balancing the form and size of the map, with the practical aspect of its usage, and the real shapes and forms, they exhibit distortions. The distortions tend to be large with the increase of latitude, while the lower latitudes have little to no distortions.
