One of life’s gems<br />
One big advantage a globe has over<br />
a map is that it can simultaneously<br />
conserve the shapes, areas, angles<br />
and distances at scale. All areas as<br />
well as the lines of latitude and longitude<br />
are made to real world scale.<br />
These standards can’t all be met by<br />
a map since the surface of a sphere<br />
can’t be rolled out on a flat surface.<br />
Yet another advantage globes bring to<br />
table is their visual clarity when displaying<br />
distances, for example; or more<br />
precisely, air paths and shipping routes.<br />
Whenever we want to show proportions<br />
and distances, we need a globe.<br />
