D)the Earth's orbit around the Sun is not perfectly circular.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is mathematically impossible to represent the three-dimensional Earth accurately on a two-dimensional map without introducing some type of distortion. This is known as the "Map Projection Problem." Therefore, all map projections have some degree of distortion.
