Hi Amit,
What Deepti saying is 100% correct.
The measurements on paper will not match with the ball shapped globe.
Not only on South/north pole but on equator also some measurements on paper will not match for globe.
Take the above example posted by me earlier (reproduced below, again)
One person at 1 km altitude in the sky (over any south indian place) goes 1000 kms towads east, then he turns right angle right side and travels another 1000 kms and again turns right angle right side proceeds 1000 kms and once again turns right angle right side and concludes his journey after travelling 1000 kms. where does reaches?
In geometrical point of view it seems that he reaches to the original point. But due to maintaining same altitude from earth and since the earth is not flat, he reaches some distance away from the original point.
