The claim that "when you look at the Pacific Ocean on a globe, you only see water" is incorrect.
I've seen a few attepts to make this claim appear as if it were real. Like the image in the article, it's just a perspective projection from a low altitude.
If you actually grab a globe, you'll see there is no way to cut it in half with only water on one side. If there were a way to do that, we could save a lot of money on globes by just not making that half.

- bagacrap 3y agoThis is a very Hawaii phobic point of view
- SamBam 3y agoRight, but when you look at a globe, you're actually seeing less than half of it, unless it is small enough or you are far enough. If you're closer, you can definitely see less land. The "perspective projection" is correct.
