Hi

An atlas is a collection of maps of various types that contain information about the physical geography, socio-economic, religious and political situation of a specific territory. They present maps of the Earth or a region of the Earth. The atlases have been presented in the form of books. In addition to presenting geographical features and political boundaries, they generally present geopolitical, social, religious and economic statistics. They also have information about the map and the places on it.

The straight line distance between Sacramento and Las Vegas is approximately 373 miles, while the straight line distance between Cairo and Istanbul is approximately 746 miles.
