How Do Maps Help Us Understand the World?

Maps are like pictures of the Earth that help us find places and see how things connect. Imagine you have a toy city, and you draw lines to show which roads lead where, that's like making a map! When we use maps, we can understand big spaces, like countries or oceans, and even plan trips from our bedroom to another continent.
