Same source data, central meridian and 1000 × 600 viewport. Each projection is fitted independently; the scales differ. Mercator clips the poles near ±85° and enlarges high-latitude areas. Equal Earth preserves relative areas, but distorts shapes.
Map data: Natural Earth (public domain). Boundary depiction does not imply endorsement of territorial claims.

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Equal area. Another way to see.
The Equal Earth projection is an equal-area world map projection that preserves relative area. Create an Equal Earth map for education or publishing, compare projections, and download your Equal Earth SVG, PNG or HTML.
Mercator vs Equal Earth
Every flat world map has trade-offs. Mercator preserves local angles and enlarges areas toward the poles. Equal Earth preserves area, while changing shapes and angles. Choose the projection that suits your purpose.
This simplified 1:110 million map is for world-scale illustration, not navigation, legal boundaries or detailed geographic analysis.
