It is impossible to represent a curved object (our world) on a flat surface (a map) without distorting something. Different projections distort different things. The good thing about a globe is that nothing is distorted. As a result, they are a way better display of our earth.

Why does earth have day and night every 24 hours?
The Earth has day and night every 24 hours because that is the total amount of time it takes to spin on its axis. When one half faces the sun, it is day in that area of the globe, while it is night in the other half.
