Imagine you're drawing a picture of your room on paper, but from above. That's like making a map! People used to draw maps by looking at the world and guessing how far things were apart. Now they use satellites in space to take really accurate pictures of Earth. These pictures help make super detailed maps that we can use every day.
Examples
- A child draws a map of their bedroom using crayons.
- An explorer uses the stars to make a rough map of a new land.
- A satellite takes pictures of Earth to create a detailed world map.
