What do cartographers do with coordinate planes?
They project the surface of a sphere (the Earth) using a projection. Often the latitudes and longitudes are mapped onto the coordinate plane for small area but such projections distort shapes when mapping larger areas.
How do you get a flat image onto a curved surface without distortion?
You can't. Not in this universe, anyway. The problem in reverse has challenged cartographers for centuries. How do you map a global earth onto a flat surface? There are many different "projections" that represent various compromises and characteristics, but no two-dimensional representation can completely capture the unique nature of a globe.
