What is a Globe?

Globe is a model of the Earth. Since the Earth is round, this helps us see the shape, size and position of countries and oceans better than on a flat map.

There are 4 oceans in all, the other are the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Antarctic Ocean. The seas are smaller water bodies than the oceans.
