Trying to map Earth on a flat surface will inheritly cause some sort of distortion (in the case of the Mercator Projection, which is the most popular flat map and was designed for navigation, size is distorted more the farther you get from the equator), the "size changing" in the video is because this is a website which is meant to show a more accurate comparison between places.
What are you talking about? I am just showcasing the mercater projection ⁉️ Every country has different size than we think or see in the standard map. I don't care Russia, I am just trying to show something here.
You want to say that russia is small😂
👀
...
He means you shrunk it
@@aisyle80because the earth is round so it becomes smaller
In your dreams
@The Bqsicsofficial_
It's big, but it's not *that* big. It's very similar to Pluto's area.
😁
Well well well, look who’s here
👀
@@testingrice I am everywhere, kid.
Its the biggest country
Your outline of Russia keeps changing sizes.
That's the point of the video
If you rotate Russia to the side, it stretches from Tunisia to South Africa!
Great info 😄✌️ thanks
I think Java island which is barely seen on the map has more population than Russia
You're right ✌️
What program are you using so that I can play around with it?
Website called truesize
Bro you do know that planets on flat maps are stretched to fit
What do you mean?
I mean that flat maps stretch countries to fit so the centre is the most realistic place to look at them from
Because it isn't stretched in the middle
Yeah and this is called mercater projection, actually that's the whole concept of the video.
@dungeontales8117 mercater projection? The true size of Countries?
What if you bring Russia to Antarctica 🇦🇶
What do you think?
Covers the entire map
What’s the name of this website
True size
Muslim
Name?
True size
You made it change size
@MaximVed No I didn't, the size changes according to earths shape.
Bro doesn’t understand how geography/maps work 💀

@@scotandiamapping4549 thank you for this great explanation ✌️
probably a child commented it
that thing is changing size
It shows us how mercater projection works, not changing size.
That’s Mercator, not MercatER
I saw a video that they showed russia as .02 the size of china like bruh what 😂
I think it's impossible
@GeoFactsUnveiled it was when it first came out so it was probaly a glitch yknow
@kingpoxy2289 I see
Yeah russia is almost 2× the size of china
I thought it was bigger than that! 😂😂😂😂
👀
Agar mai batao toh Russia Pluto jitna hai
👀
No, don’t be like that. Don’t say any of that bullshit Russia isn’t that small I download that app and you just taped it

Extensive, ten times the population, lots of wars and war expenditure, yet a smaller groce domestic product

Проекция Меркатора
link?
The arrow shows the exact location of link, at the bottom of screen
Not amazed. I have already looked at maps and globes.
✌️
hey what's the link?
www.thetruesize.com
Bro oh my god dont you know anything about geography?
No I don't 😂 how did you get it? Was it because of the mercater projection?
What’s the game
Game?
Russia is too small. Most lands are forest.
👀
Most knowledgeable American teen be like...
What?? What does that even mean?
