Globes

Globes are visual displays of the Earth. Globes are relatively accurate in terms of the properties/characteristics of the Earth's surface features such as area, relative size and shape, scale and distance, and compass direction. All these are proportionately shown on globes.

Globes present a general idea of the Earth. They can be useful in understanding the concepts of location, spatial patterns, Earth-Sun relationships, and time. However, globes have some limitations: they are cumbersome to handle and store, small-scale, and only half of Earth can be observed at once.
