The compound word for "caterpillar" and "globe" would be "caterglobe."
The frosted globe gave the light a soft glow.I showed the boy where he was on the globe of the world.
a hemisphere.
The earliest known globe was constructed by the scholar Crates of Mallus in Cilicia (now Çukurova in modern-day Turkey) around 150 BC. An ancient celestial globe that still exists was made about 150 AD as part of a sculpture, called the Farnese Atlas, in the Naples Museum, Naples, Italy.[1] The first globe of the Old World was constructed in the Muslim world during the Middle Ages.[2] The oldest existing terrestrial globe was made by Martin Behaim in Nürnberg, Germany, in 1474.[1] A facsimile globe showing America was made by Martin Waldseemueller in 1507. Another early globe, the Hunt-Lenox Globe, ca. 1507, is thought to be the source of the phrase "Here be dragons." Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe#History
The equator
72 number of meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval
On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.
Going from 0 to 90 both north and south, 0, 15,30,45,60,75,90 would be 13 total. You can only count 0 once.
If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.
Looking at a sphere, the Earth, from the side, i.e. - the equator, eliminating each 'pole' position, which would appear as 'points', as opposed to 'lines', lines drawn at one degree intervals from top (North) to bottom (South), would number 178; given that there are 180 degrees from North to South.
globe
There are 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes in one day (24 hours) Therefore there are 1440 meridians at one minute intervals.

"Parallels" of latitude. Those are the lines that are drawn horizontal on the globe or map.
general astronomy
A spherical map of the world or any location is called a globe. all globes are even set at an axis to resemble the earths actual placement in space.
The unit of measure used to determine an absolute location on a map or a globe is a degree. This is a unit of measurement for angles used in geography and cartography.
