It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
Globes usually depict reality. Maps usually have some distortion to them.
A map is a two-dimensional representation of the Earth's surface, while a globe is a three-dimensional model of the Earth. Maps can be easily folded and transported, while globes are not portable. Maps can show a larger area, such as an entire country or continent, while globes provide a more accurate depiction of the Earth’s shape and size. Maps can be customized and have specific projections, while globes provide a more accurate representation of distances and directions. Maps can be updated and revised easily, while globes are static and do not change.
One advantage to using a globe is that you can more accurately determine distances than you can with a flat map. Flat maps distort the spherical surface and that distortion can be significant over long distances.
geographic grids
GIS, GPS etc.
It fixes the relationship between distances in the real world and on the map or globe.

Globes and maps help you see our geography in an easy way. Whether you are traveling, studying, or just curious, maps and globes can show you oceans, cities, states, countries, and continents.
how are maps and lobes not the same
on maps yes, on globes no

vvv
Globes are much more realistic and accurate than flat maps.

because globes just show the conatents and maps show routs and ways to go
Maps and globes both do the same thing - show a representation of the earth in different scales. the difference between the two is - a globe is a 3D version of a map !
