What does the globe show us?

Globes mainly show us continents and oceans. A globe is a spherical tool that people use to find places. Instead of using a map, the globe rotates around on a stand. The globe shows the outline of each continent which are usually different colors and then the oceans are colored in blue. Usually the continents and oceans are labeled.

Sometimes, countries are outlines and labeled. Many times it is easier to look at a globe to find the countries and oceans than a map because the map must be unfolded whereas the globe can easily be spun around to find the place you are looking for. Sometimes, it is difficult to see Antarctica on a globe because it is located at the bottom of the sphere.
