Mercator
A Mercator projection map is the most familiar and common to usage in primary education systems. Mercator projections model the continents and oceans into a flattened and rolled cylindrical format. In comparison a Gnomonic projection is also two dimensional and flat but it uses lines which are actual representation of point-to-point s indicating true distance. Another significant difference is scale as Mercator's can represent the entire earth whereas Gnomonics represent a geographical limited area. Lastly Mercator's have the difference of distortion and under representing the actual sizes of Greenland and Continental Africa.
The Meridians are lined in a pattern on the Mercator. They are all parallel to each other and converge at the poles when viewed on a globe.

The Mercator projection exaggerates areas far from the equator because it is not suited to general reference world maps due to its distortion of land area. The Mercator projection is still commonly used for areas near the equator.
it distorts areas near the poles.
accurate directions but has distorted sizes and distances
Greenland appears larger on a Mercator map projection compared to a Robinson map projection. The Mercator projection distorts the size of land masses as they near the poles, resulting in Greenland appearing much larger than it actually is.
Mercator projection represents rhumb lines, which are useful for navigation. It makes the areas near the poles appear very large.

It is a Mercator projection!
what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
None of them. However, the location is distorted the least.
Mercator is the type of projection which has parallel lines of longitude which disappear near the poles. The project in question also presents parallel lines of latitude even though the overall clarity gets distorted around both the North and South Poles.
A Mercator map is a cylindrical map projection that distorts the size of objects as the latitude increases from the equator towards the poles. This means that areas near the poles appear larger than they actually are.
The Mercator projection preserves the shape of countries accurately, but distorts their size, especially near the poles. This means that countries near the equator will appear smaller than they actually are on a Mercator map, while those near the poles will appear larger.
