Explanation:

A globe is a 3 - dimensional, spherical representation of Earth, showing the planet's surface accurately without distortion in terms of the relative size and shape of landmasses and oceans. A map is a 2 - dimensional representation, often on paper or a digital screen. Maps can be of the whole Earth or a part of it, but they involve projections which can introduce some distortion (like in area, shape, distance, or direction) to represent the 3D Earth on a 2D surface. Also, globes are less portable and detailed in showing small - scale features compared to maps, while maps can be more customized (e.g., thematic maps for specific topics like population, climate) and easier to carry.

Answer:

A globe is a 3D, spherical model of Earth with accurate relative size/shape (no distortion from projection), less portable, and less detailed for small - scale features. A map is a 2D representation (on paper/digital), uses projections (may have distortion), can be of the whole Earth or a part, is more portable, customizable (thematic maps), and can show more small - scale details.
