A projection where projection lines originate from a single point and extend to the projection plane.
A projection that distorts the shape of the object to fit the projection plane.
A projection used exclusively for mapping the Earth's surface.
3. In a parallel projection, all projection lines are to each other.
4. A perspective projection creates a more representation of an object compared to an orthographic projection.
