A globe is the most accurate map of Earth. Like the planet, it is shaped like a sphere, or ball.
A globe also has several important points and lines. The northernmost point on a globe is the North Pole. Another point, the South Pole, is directly opposite the North Pole. The South Pole is the southern most point on a globe.
Geographers divide Earth into hemispheres, or half
spheres, to make it easier to locate places on a globe or map. The Northern and Southern hemispheres (see the globe below) are separated by the equator. This imaginary line circles Earth halfway between the North and South poles. The Eastern and Western hemispheres (see the globe on p. 2) are divided along two other imaginary lines: the prime meridian (0°) and the 180° line.
