Map projections differ in how they distort properties like shape, area, distance, and direction when transferring the Earth's surface onto a 2D map. Some projections prioritize maintaining accurate shapes but distort areas and distances, while others aim to preserve areas at the expense of shape, or minimize distortion in specific regions like equatorial areas. The choice of projection depends on the specific purpose of the map and which properties are most important to preserve accurately.
