A globe is a three-dimensional scale model of a spheroid celestial body such as a planet, star or moon, in particular Earth, or, alternatively, a spherical representation of the sky with the stars (but without the Sun, Moon, or 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.

A map is a visual representation of an area—a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes.

Many maps are static two-dimensional, geometrically accurate representations of three-dimensional space, while others are dynamic or interactive, even three-dimensional.

Many maps are static two-dimensional, geometrically accurate representations of three-dimensional space, while others are dynamic or interactive, even three-dimensional. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or imagined, without regard to context or scale; e.g. Brain mapping, DNA mapping, and extra-terrestrial mapping

A Globe is a illustration of the Earth as a around merchandise intersected with lines of selection and longitude.

This shows land lots and identifies heights above sea point. There additionally are climate maps, Sea Charts, and Air maps utilized by aviators. in actuality there are hundreds of categories and varieties of maps. Many are purely charts yet are called maps.

Like what the above posted said, its a planar representation while globe is spherical.

Another thing, you can have a map for a particular country, state or any place but you can never have a globe for a particular place.

Have fun.

A map is the planar projection of a globe onto a flat surface. That means that it will always be a little bit 'distorted' around the edges.
