Natural Earth projection of the world.

The Natural Earth projection is a pseudocylindrical map projection designed by Tom Patterson. It is neither conformal nor equal-area.

Definition

The Natural Earth is defined by the following formulas:

x=0.8707×l(φ)×λ,
y=0.8707×0.52×d(φ)×π,

where

  • x, y are the Cartesian coordinates;
  • λ is the longitude from the central meridian;
  • φ is the latitude;
  • l(φ) is the length of the parallel at latitude φ;
  • d(φ) is the distance of the parallel from the equator at latitude φ.

l(φ) and d(φ) are given in the table below:

φ (degrees)l(φ)d(φ)

150.98940.186
200.98110.248
250.97030.31
300.9570.372

400.92220.4958

500.87630.6176
550.84920.6769
600.81960.7346
650.78740.7903
700.75250.8435
750.7160.8936
800.67540.9394
850.6270.9761
900.5631

The values of the above functions for other latitudes are calculated by interpolation. The values for the southern hemisphere are calculated by changing the sign of the corresponding values for the northern hemisphere.
