Globe information

A globe is a three-dimensional scale model of Earth (terrestrial globe) or other spheroid celestial body such as a planet, star, or moon. It may also (celestial globe) refer to a spherical representation of the celestial sphere, showing the apparent positions of the stars in the sky. Celestial globes omit the Sun, Moon and planets because their positions vary relative to those of the stars, but the ecliptic, along which the Sun moves, is indicated.
The word "globe" comes from the Latin word globus, meaning round mass or sphere. (...) more....
