Globe
This article is on a planet-representation device. For other uses, see
globe (disambiguation). 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.
