Earth's surface morphing between a sphere and a flat map under the Mercator and Archimedes projections, with a scrubbable slider
Compares two classical map projections — Mercator (conformal, angle-preserving) and Archimedes’ cylindrical equal-area projection — by continuously morphing the globe from sphere through cylinder to flat map. Auto-animates by default; grab the slider to scrub through the morph yourself, or switch projections with the toggle.
Controls: Click and drag to orbit, scroll to zoom. Drag the slider to control the sphere-to-map morph.
