Distortion
Maps covering a large area suffer from "barrel distortion". In the usual layout of maps, East-West distances are compressed near the equator and exaggerated as you move towards the poles.
The surface area pf the Earth is on a sphere, not a flat surface.
by using the position on the sky and the redshift to determine a distance along the line of sight

Distortion
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
The main problem is that the earth is approximately spherical and therefore maps covering large areas suffers from distortions due to projection from 3-D to 2-D.
Three-dimensional maps are called "3D maps" or "three-dimensional maps." They provide depth and perspective which can help users better visualize and understand spatial data.
Planar projection
Two-dimensional maps of Earth have distortions because they attempt to represent a three-dimensional surface (the Earth) on a flat plane. This distortion occurs due to the challenge of converting a curved surface onto a flat surface. Different map projections have different advantages and trade-offs in terms of preserving features like shape, area, distance, or direction.
such a map is a three dimensional representation of the terrain

Models are three dimensional prototypes that help the viewer see a smaller scale of a detailed area. Maps are usually one dimensional and contain directions from a view that would not show great detail.
Isoline maps are a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional model. An isoline map gives you a picture of the concentration of people. :)
Physical relief maps show the terrain and elevation of a specific geographic area. They use colors and contour lines to depict the topography, such as mountains, valleys, and plains. These maps provide a visual representation of the three-dimensional landscape on a two-dimensional surface.
