What is an "atlas"?

An atlas is a collection of maps, usually in book form, that provides detailed information about different regions, countries, or the world. It includes various types of maps, such as political maps, physical maps, and thematic maps, which show different features like borders, landforms, and specific topics like climate or population. Atlases can also include other useful information like charts, graphs, and facts about the places shown in the maps. They are commonly used for reference, education, and travel planning.
