Map

A map is a picture that shows you exactly what a place looks like. Just like how you draw a picture of your favorite toy, someone drew a picture of the Earth so that we can understand it better.

A map can show us different things, like where we are and where we want to go. It can also show us what is around us, like mountains, rivers, and cities.

There are different types of maps, like world maps and maps of cities. Some maps even have special features, like showing you where roads are, where stores are, or where your friends’ houses are.

So, just like how you use a picture to remind you of something you love, we use maps to better understand the Earth around us.
