During class today we talked about maps and their specifics. Some maps were made to show one country, for example the United States map. On that map it includes the mountain ranges, rivers, cities, states, and capitols. Bigger maps will show all the countries of the world. It will also show their capitols and major cities. Most maps will show you the oceans and the longitude and latitude lines. the biggest map we saw today showed all the countries and their capitols. But this map was a little different. On this map the continents were stretched out to make them seem skinnier. This led to a discussion about whether you could see the bottom of the planet. It would take a long time to accomplish that, but it is possible. For it to happen you would need to fly billions of miles away from earth. The fly straight down for another billion miles. Once you're far enough down you should fly in a straight line back to earth. Then all you must do is fly up until you see the bottom of the earth.
