Why do distances appear longer on maps than globes?
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a globe?
Advantages: Globes provide a more accurate representation of the Earth's shape, distances, and sizes compared to flat maps. They are useful for teaching geography and understanding the concept of Earth as a 3D object. Disadvantages: Globes are not as portable or easy to store as flat maps. They can also be expensive and may not show as much detail or specific information as certain types of maps.
Does maps or globes show the exact shapes?
Globes provide a more accurate representation of Earth's shapes and distances because they represent a 3D object on a 3D surface. Maps, on the other hand, often distort shapes and sizes due to the challenge of translating a spherical surface onto a flat plane.
Why aren't there major latitude circles as 45 degrees north or south - since those latitudes are halfway between the equator and the poles?
Some maps and globes ... such as those with a line printed every 15° of latitude ... have lines marked at 45° north and 45° south. Some maps and globes ... such as those with a line printed every 10° of latitude ... don't. Some maps and globes have no lines printed on them at all.
5 differences between a map and globe?
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.

Maps and Globes
Why are maps more informative than globes?
Maps are typically more informative than globes because they can display larger areas in greater detail. Maps can show specific information such as roads, cities, and topographical features more clearly than globes, which can sometimes distort the shapes of land masses and distances. Additionally, maps can be updated more easily with current information than globes can.
