Where is the smallest distortion in an azimuthal projection?

In an azimuthal projection, the smallest distortion occurs at the center point of the projection, where the point is tangential to the surface of the Earth. As you move outward from this center point, distortion in scale, shape, and area increases. This projection is often used for polar regions, where the distortion is minimized at the poles. Thus, the central point is the most accurate representation in terms of distance and direction.
