A "projection" is a way of displaying the 3-D Earth in a 2-D form (C) ... like on a piece of paper.

There are many different map projections. Each one has advantages and disadvantages. It's not possible to correctly reproduce all the details of a globe surface on a flat piece of paper. Something's gotta give.
