Is a globe accurate?

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?
