Answer (2)

The Robinson projection is popular for creating visually appealing maps of the world while keeping area distortions slight. It maintains a balance between area and shape distortion, unlike the Mercator projection, which exaggerates certain regions. Other projections like Mollweide and Goode serve different purposes but do not achieve the same aesthetic appeal. ;
