See under 3d {Co[94]rdinate}.          {Polar dial}, a dial whose plane is parallel to a great             circle passing through the poles of the earth. --Math.             Dict.          {Polar distance}, the angular distance of any point on a             sphere from one of its poles, particularly of a heavenly             body from the north pole of the heavens.          {Polar equation of a line} [or] {surface}, an equation which             expresses the relation between the polar co[94]rdinates of             every point of the line or surface.          {Polar forces} (Physics), forces that are developed and act             in pairs, with opposite tendencies or properties in the             two elements, as magnetism, electricity, etc.          {Polar hare} (Zo[94]l.), a large hare of Arctic America             ({Lepus arcticus}), which turns pure white in winter. It             is probably a variety of the common European hare ({L.             timidus}).          {Polar lights}, the aurora borealis or australis.          {Polar}, [or] {Polaric}, {opposition} [or] {contrast}             (Logic), an opposition or contrast made by the existence             of two opposite conceptions which are the extremes in a             species, as white and black in colors; hence, as great an             opposition or contrast as possible.          {Polar projection}. See under {Projection}.          {Polar spherical triangle} (Spherics), a spherical triangle             whose three angular points are poles of the sides of a             given triangle. See 4th {Pole}, 2.          {Polar whale} (Zo[94]l.), the right whale, or bowhead. See             {Whale}.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Projection \Pro*jec"tion\, n. [L. projectio: cf. F. projection.]       1. The act of throwing or shooting forward.          2. A jutting out; also, a part jutting out, as of a building;             an extension beyond something else.          3. The act of scheming or planning; also, that which is             planned; contrivance; design; plan. --Davenant.          4. (Persp.) The representation of something; delineation;             plan; especially, the representation of any object on a             perspective plane, or such a delineation as would result             were the chief points of the object thrown forward upon             the plane, each in the direction of a line drawn through             it from a given point of sight, or central point; as, the             projection of a sphere. The several kinds of projection             differ according to the assumed point of sight and plane             of projection in each.          5. (Geog.) Any method of representing the surface of the             earth upon a plane.          {Conical projection}, a mode of representing the sphere, the             spherical surface being projected upon the surface of a             cone tangent to the sphere, the point of sight being at             the center of the sphere.          {Cylindric projection}, a mode of representing the sphere,             the spherical surface being projected upon the surface of             a cylinder touching the sphere, the point of sight being             at the center of the sphere.          {Globular}, {Gnomonic}, {Orthographic}, {projection},etc. See             under {Globular}, {Gnomonic}, etc.          {Mercator's projection}, a mode of representing the sphere in             which the meridians are drawn parallel to each other, and             the parallels of latitude are straight lines whose             distance from each other increases with their distance             from the equator, so that at all places the degrees of             latitude and longitude have to each other the same ratio             as on the sphere itself.          {Oblique projection}, a projection made by parallel lines             drawn from every point of a figure and meeting the plane             of projection obliquely.          {Polar projection}, a projection of the sphere in which the             point of sight is at the center, and the plane of             projection passes through one of the polar circles.          {Powder of projection} (Alchemy.), a certain powder cast into             a crucible or other vessel containing prepared metal or             other matter which is to be thereby transmuted into gold.                      {Projection of a point on a plane} (Descriptive Geom.), the             foot of a perpendicular to the plane drawn through the             point.          {Projection of a straight line of a plane}, the straight line             of the plane connecting the feet of the perpendiculars let             fall from the extremities of the given line.          Syn: See {Protuberance}.
