is anyone good in science im in summer schoo and i need help?

Question

with like what is a mercator projectoin

Answer 1

I'm pretty good at science, can you be a bit more specific about what it is you need help with? I can't answer you question unless I know what it is :)

According to Wikipedia, "The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator, in 1569, in a large planisphere measuring 202 by 124 cm, printed in eighteen separate sheets. Like in all cylindric projections, parallels and meridians are straight and perpendicular to each other. But the unavoidable east-west stretching away from the equator is here accompanied by a corresponding north-south stretching, so that at every location the east-west scale is the same as the north-south scale, making the projection conformal. A Mercator map can never fully show the polar areas, since linear scale becomes infinitely high at the poles. Being a conformal projection, the linear scale does not vary with direction and the angles are preserved around all locations. However, and like in any other map projection, scale varies from place to place, distorting the shapes of geographical objects."

In other words, it's just a particular way of represending the geography of the three-dimentional Earth on a two-dimentional piece of paper. Check out the link below for more information.

Answer 2

A Mercator projection is a mathematical method of showing a map of the globe on a flat surface.
On a globe, the lines of longitude (measuring east-west position) converge at the poles and the lines of latitudes (measuring north-south position) are equal distance apart. In a Mercator projection, the lines of longitude are straight vertical lines equal distance apart at all latitudes, and horizontal distances are stretched above and below the equator this stretching is exaggerated near the poles. The Mercator projection mathematically stretches vertically distances by the same proportion as the horizontal distances so that shape and direction are preserved.

Answer 3

A Mercator projection is a mathematical method of showing a map of the globe on a flat surface. This projection was developed in 1568 by Gerhardus Mercator a Flemish geographer, mathematician, and cartographer.

Answer 4

The approach to science and the wonders of nature are lost in the jumble of math and calculations. It is sort of like Alice going through the looking glass and discovering the fantastic world we live in. As a scientist, I appreciate the value of numbers but they scare many people away. For most people a casual knowledge of biology and chemistry is sufficient but few people use or apply physics to their lives. Science is systematic and very orderly and the concept of step one leading to step two is the best approach. In chemistry hydrogen leads to helium, and in biology the relationship between a one-celled creature leads us to multi-celled life forms. It is really simple. Even DNA becomes easy to understand when it is broken into steps for you to understand.

Answer 5

I wish my modesty would let me reckon I am

Answer 6

i am good in science,
plz be more specific

Answer 7

with what?
I teach science.

Answer 8

many people are good...what's the question

Answer 9

perhaps

Answer 10

Oh oh I am...im me please.
