what is a globe?
A globe is a small model of the Earth. It shows the continents and the oceans of the Earth on its surface. A globe spins on an axis. A globe's axis is a metal stick stuck through its center. A globe has an axis so that it can show how the Earth spins in space. The Earth has an axis, too, but it doesn't spin on a metal stick. The Earth's axis is an imaginary line drawn through its center from its North Pole to its South Pole.
