Why do distances appear longer on maps than globes?
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
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.
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.
How many degrees difference is there between each line of latitude and longitude shown on the gobles?
That's like asking "How many inches difference is between the marks on the ruler ?". The answer is: It depends on the ruler. They're not all the same, and there's no official standard set of marks. Some globes have lines every 15 degrees, some have lines every 20 degrees, or every 30 degrees, or every 10 degrees, and some have no lines printed on them at all.
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 do distances appear longer on maps than globes?
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
How are maps and globes similar and how are different?
Maps and globes both do the same thing - show a representation of the earth in different scales. the difference between the two is - a globe is a 3D version of a map !

How are maps and globes similar and how are they different?
Maps and globes are both tools used to represent the Earth's surface. Maps are two-dimensional representations while globes are three-dimensional. Maps can provide more detailed information and are easier to carry around, while globes offer a more accurate depiction of the Earth's shape and are better for understanding distances and spatial relationships.
How can maps and globes be useful in life?
Globes and maps help you see our geography in an easy way. Whether you are traveling, studying, or just curious, maps and globes can show you oceans, cities, states, countries, and continents.
