How is it like and unlike Earth? Look at lattitude and longitude lines: Are they all the same length? Are they spaced equidistant apart? Do they meet? At what angles do they meet?

angles Longitude lines meet at poles Same shape as earth Shapes (continents and oceans) are
maintained Relative distances and sizes are maintained Can be used to show direction
