Answer:

On the Mercator projection, Greenland is presented much larger than it is, while on the Goode projection it is presented in its real size.

Explanation:

There are numerous different map projections. All of them have some positives and all of them have some negatives about them. Some maps tend to cause distorsions the further away a place is from the Equator, some have shapes that are not practical for usage, etc.

The map projection that is the most commonly used in the world is the Mercator projection. While this projection is practical for usage, it actually causes distortions, with the places around the Equator being shown in real size, while the places further away from it are much larger than they actually are. Greenland for example, on this projection, is almost the size of Africa, while in reality, it is some 15 times smaller.

Goode map projection, on the other hand, is a map projection that accurately presents the sizes of all water and land bodies in the world. Greenland is shown in its real size, thus when compared with the Mercator projection, it is significantly smaller. Unfortunately, the precision of this map projection has come with a shape that is highly impractical for usage.
