What is the globe? |NCERT Geography class 6

What is the globe?

  • Globe is a true model or miniature form of earth.
  • It rotates in the same ways ( west to east and tilted axis of 66.5 degrees against orbital plain) as the earth rotates with the help of the middle attached with it but the only difference is that earth has no such needle; earth rotates around an imaginary line.
  • Continents, countries, ocean, and others are shown in the correct size with scaling down on the globe.
  • Globe can be as small as to fit in a pocket and also can be a big one.
