Key Differences Between Maps and Globes for Education

• A map is a two-dimensional, or flat, representation of the Earth’s surface.
• A globe is a three-dimensional model of the Earth.
• Maps usually show more detail than globes because they can be enlarged without losing their accuracy.
• Globes for education are more accurate than maps because they show the Earth’s true shape.
• The scale of a map is the ratio between the distance on the map and the actual distance on Earth.
• The scale of a globe is fixed, meaning that it shows the relative sizes of countries and continents, but not their actual distances from each other.
• You can measure distances between two points on a map with a ruler, but you cannot do this with a globe.
• With an educational globe, you can find the shortest route between two points by following a line of constant longitude or latitude (also called a great circle).
• With most globes, you can also spin the globe to see what different parts of the world look like from different angles.
