What are the advantages of globes?
With a Globe you can see the whole county not just part of it.
Why is the map globe square?
A map globe is not square; it is a sphere. Globes are designed to represent the Earth in a three-dimensional and more accurate way compared to two-dimensional maps. The spherical shape helps to minimize distortions that occur on flat maps.
What can a flat map show that globes cannot?
A flat map can show a larger area in a single view, making it easier to compare distances and relationships between different locations. It can also be more practical for navigation purposes and can show political boundaries more clearly than a globe.
Why is a globe more accurate than a flat map to represent Earths surface?
A globe is more accurate than a flat map because it maintains the true shape of Earth, which is a sphere. Flat maps distort the size and shape of countries and continents, especially those closer to the poles. Globes provide a more accurate representation of relative sizes and distances across the Earth's surface.
How many latitudes in northern hemisphere?
The same as the number of different lengths on a 3-foot ruler. Or, for that matter, on a 1-foot ruler. The number is infinite. If you name two latitudes, then I can always name another one that's between yours, no matter how close together yours are. Don't be fooled by the latitude 'lines' that you see on some maps and globes. That's certainly not the only latitudes there are, any more than the marks on a ruler are the only possible lengths.

Why do goegraphers often use flat maps rather than globes?
Globes are inconvenient and hard to work with. Geographers (and other people) sacrifice accuracy for convenience by using a two-dimensional projection which is more portable.
Is globe more advantageous than map?

How can graph be more informative than a table?

How are maps more useful than globes?
A globe may show the earth without the distortion found in paper maps, but it is easier to fold a paper map and put it into your rucksack when outdoors. Also, paper maps are easier to reprint to show the changes that have occurred since the last map survey - usually by satellite imaging surveys, nowadays.
What does a celestial globe help us do?
Globes are more accurate than maps, even though the lines of Latitude and Longitude on a flat map is curved, on a globe, you can clearly see that Greenland is NOT larger than the United States. Like Columbus failed: The earth is round, not flat.
Why are maps less accurate at showing earths surface than globes?
maps are less accurate because on a globe, you can like feel the mountains and a globe is 3D and a map is not
Why are maps more useful than globes?
For one thing maps are something you carry with you when you are traveling. You can simply keep a map in your pocket or bag get it out when you need it and fold it into a nice tight package when you don't. A globe would have to be very big to be useful under most circumstances and would be a haste to Cary around.
