Remember that it is always half of Earth that gets sunlight. This illustrates how much of the Pacific is missing in this projection.
There isn’t any of the Pacific missing in this projection…you can see right where it starts at the Bering Strait and ends in the exact same place. If this map were centered on the Pacific it would probably seem larger, but there’s none missing.
Bro what you still think the Pacific is a real thing and not a random area invented by the government to have the world map look more satisfying
It’s warped, not missing. Just like the resized continents are all there in full, just incorrect (relative) sizes.
during a solar eclipse less than half of the Earth is lit
But on 4/20 more than half of the Earth is lit so it balances out

We’re doing our own thing July 8th and you guys aren’t welcome
I get that reference…
As a NZer I’m Insulted you aren’t excluding us along with Australia.
Good illustration of the land hemisphere
If it’s not on the summer solstice (Jun 20), then shouldn’t there be two dates where this is the case, one before and one after?
Is the angle different the other side somehow? Is the north/south swapped or something?
If Jul 8th is one of them, Jun 2nd would be other. There’s no swapping of north/south.
Free Burger King for everyone under the sun!
We don’t have burger king in Australia. Its called hungry jacks. There was another chain called burger king, now gone, and burger king bought an existing chain called hungry jacks. So it would work!
We know. That’s like the main Australian fact, it’s important to mention it at every opportunity. Along with, you know, the emu War.
We’d know
Is it true?
This would have been the perfect map to drop New Zealand. Smh
How about now?
(NZ) Nothing to see here. Move along.
What’s the point, we kinda do it anyway
how about we deport our prisoners to Australia. We’re not animals though, so we’ll load the ships with a bunch of rabbits to sustain them until they settle in.
