Hey this is Lily4eva and you will be seeing allot more of me on this site and all of my answers are true!
A globe is a replica and true representation of the earth's shape and surface.
A map cannot provide an accurate representation of the earth's surface because it is a flat surface. (Try pasting a map on a globe.) It doesn't work.
Maps use projections like the Mercator Projection to show the earth's surface but it causes distortions because a map is flat and the earth is spherical in shape.
