How do maps help us why are maps less accurate than a globe?
It is impossible for a flat map to be as accurate as a globe. The Earth is round and only a round globe can put things in the correct perspective.
Which would be more helpful for studing the exact shapes of continents a globe or map?
I would think the globe would be more accurate since the world isn't actually flat. If you peel off the surface of the earth and flatten it out, you will have a lot of distortion if you try to fill in the spaces created by flattening it out. Maps are fine for smaller, localized areas.
Did Copernicus think the earth was flat?
No they believed it was a bowl shape. they thought the water would fall out.
What is the only completely accurate representation of earth a flat map or globe?
Generally speaking, and if you are talking about representing the whole of earth's surface in one mapping, it would be a globe. But for many purposes a globe would have to be impractically large in order to match the precision of various other maps made for specialized purposes and covering smaller areas.
What is the difference of globe and map?
A globe is the world as it appears from space, and is approximately ball shaped. This allows the countries of the whole world to be shown on a globe without distortion. On a flat map, distortion is unavoidable, especially if the scale is small and showing a large area. Peel an orange, and try to flatten on a flat surface, will prove that a map of the World can not avoid distortion.
Why is the globe a true-scale model of the earth?
It is impossible to represent a curved object (our world) on a flat surface (a map) without distorting something. Different projections distort different things. The good thing about a globe is that nothing is distorted. As a result, they are a way better display of our earth.
What is a flat drawing of the Earth called?
A flat representation of the Earth is called a map projection. The surface of the Earth cannot be accurately represented on a flat surface, so there are various way to approximate it. The different way are called projections.

Why is a globe a good example of a model?
use your brain!! if its a small one then yes it would be useful but if it was a big one it would be hard to carry around.
