What is a "globe"?
A globe is a three-dimensional model of the Earth, showing its continents, countries, oceans, and other geographical features. It is typically spherical in shape and is often mounted on a stand, allowing it to rotate like the Earth does. Globes provide a more accurate representation of the Earth's surface than flat maps because they show the true proportions and distances between places. They are commonly used for educational purposes, helping people understand the Earth's geography and how different locations relate to each other.
Example
The geography teacher used a globe to teach students about continents and oceans.
The children gathered around the globe to locate different countries and learn about their cultures.
She spun the globe and randomly placed her finger on a country to choose her next vacation destination.
