As with any cylindrical projection, the construction can be generalized by positioning the cylinder to be tangent to a great circle of the globe that is not the equator. [1] This projection has prominent use in panoramic photography, where it is usually called the "cylindrical projection". It can present a full 360° panorama and preserves ...
The Behrmann projection is a cylindrical equal-area map projection described by Walter Behrmann in 1910. [1] Cylindrical equal-area projections differ by their standard parallels, which are parallels along which the projection has no distortion. In the case of the Behrmann projection, the standard parallels are 30°N and 30°S.

The projection: is cylindrical, that means it has a cylindrical projection surface [2] is normal, that means it has a normal aspect; is an equal-area projection, that means any two areas in the map have the same relative size compared to their size on the sphere.
Therefore, more generally, a map projection is any method of flattening a continuous curved surface onto a plane. [citation needed] The most well-known map projection is the Mercator projection. [7]: 45 This map projection has the property of being conformal. However, it has been criticized throughout the 20th century for enlarging regions ...
