A globe is a special model of our planet, the Earth! It is shaped just like a big, round ball. When you look at a globe, you can see all the land and water on our world. The blue parts show the big oceans, and the colorful parts show the different countries.
Using a globe is like going on a giant adventure without ever leaving your room! It helps us understand where we are and how big our world really is. We can find big mountains, long rivers, and even the icy North Pole right on our globe. You can even give the globe a little spin to see what is on the other side!
- Globes show us that the Earth is always spinning in space.
- A globe is more accurate than a flat map because the Earth is actually round.
- The first globe was made over 500 years ago!
