Map Projection Projection cartographique
Method by which a sphere (3D Earth) is represented onto a flat surface (2D map). Projections always involve some degree of distortion. Numerous types of projections exist (conical, cylindrical, etc); the choice of projection will depend on the use of the map and on the region of the Earth to be represented.
