A globe is spherical, like the Earth. A map is 2-Dimensional. Maps show the Earth, asphere, projected onto an unnatural shape. This distorts the image, making things look different sizes than they actually are. For example, if you look at a flat map of the world Antarctica looks much larger than it actually is. Spheres cannot be accurately made into flat, rectangular maps. A globe has no distortion and everything looks to be the correct size.
