If you can hold it, it's three dimensional. But things on a screen, say a tv show, look three dimensional but aren't. Those are two dimensional.
Geographic Map
Yes, it can be when the globe is split at either the Equator or the Prime Meridian; but a hemisphere is technically a three-dimensional shape that is half of a sphere (ball shape).
Earth's Characteristics: -Round...NOT FLAT! -Smaller than the Sun -When looked at from space, it is blue, green, brown, and white -Three dimensional -Occupied by plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and protists (And other stuff, too! We haven't found EVERYTHING in the world!) -Has gravity Moon's Characteristics: -When looked at from space, it is greyish-white -Not occupied by anything, as far as we know -Has gravity, but not the same as Earth's What They Have In Common: -Round -Smaller than the Sun -Three dimensional
three dimensional
A sphere could be used as a three dimensional model of the earth.
A three dimensional representation of the Earth is generally known as a globe.
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
A map is not a three dimensional representation of earth's surface. The best three dimensional representation of earth's surface is a globe or a topographical map.

When cartographers represent the three-dimensional Earth in two dimensions what is likely to occur is distortion.
