I wondered what #MapProjection #OpenStreetMap uses and zoomed out as far as possible. It looked like a #MercatorProjection to me.
It kinda was confirmed to me when I scrolled that zoomed out map up and down and the scale shown in the very bottom of the browser window changed from 10000km and being about as wide as the USA or Africa when the map is about centered vertically in the browser window to 1m (with a scale width going 4 times around the globe) at the bottom (shown) and upper ends.
