A globe provides a more accurate portrayal of the round world. A flat map is distorted.
This is true, but it only matters when you are dealing with a really long distances and high precision. For example, suppose you go boating along either the East or the West Coast of North America, you will never need anything more accurate than a flat map, whereas a globe would be a pain to work with, and a globe large enough to match the scale of a flat map would be ridiculous. If you wanted to navigate between say, England and Australia, then you might very well want to bear in mind that you are moving about the surface of a globe, but even then no navigator carries a globe large enough for detailed navigational purposes. He carries a collection of flat charts, or nowadays perhaps he carries a laptop with Google Earth and a GPS system.
Any of those will work very nicely. Also, some of the projections of flat maps nowadays really are surprisingly accurate.
Still, a good large globe not only is a beautiful object, but can be very useful in a classroom and for similar work.
Because they can see the whole of the world instead of continuously spinning a globe for half an hour (or in american 1 half hour)
because you can carry a map around and a globe you cant
There easier to carry and many people might pick maps insted of globes

You would use map instead of a globe because on a globe you would barley see south Jersey.But if you use a map you would be able to find even EHT.
An advantage of a map is that a map is easy to carry. An advantage of a globe is that a globe is a 3D version of the world. A disadvantage of a map is that on a map the continents are stretched. A disadvantage of a globe is that a globe is hard to carry around.
the circular shape that a map can not
Answer Is: A MAP
The most accurate map is a globe because it shows exactly where things are on the Earth and a globe is not distorted, like a map is.

A globe will only give the most general of information while a map will list such things as roads, rivers, valleys, bridges. Also a map is easier to carry.
because a globe shows it better than a map.
Draw the globe stand, then place the globe in it. Then draw the landmarks and do some shading to make the globe look 3Dimensional.
A globe is round. A map is flat.
no, because a world map could be a flat map and a globe cannot be a flat map.
the diffrence between a map and a globe is that a map is basicly paper and the globe is round and that you can spin it around.There`s that and the texture

Both. It doesn't matter which you use.

A map is certainly more practical - as it folds up to fit in a pocket. A globe on the other hand can be textured to show features such as mountains.
