Why is a globe more accurate than a flat map to represent Earths surface?

A flat map is two dimensional. A Globe is three dimensional. The Earth is three dimensional. If you try and express a three dimensional object using a two dimensional surface, you introduce distortions. A flat map has distortions, a globe is a truer representation.
