Globe

A globe is a three-dimensional scale model of Earth (terrestrial globe or geographical globe) or

other celestial body such as a planet or moon. While models can be made of objects with arbitrary or
irregular shapes, the term globe is used only for models of objects that are approximately spherical.
The word globe comes from the Latin word globus, meaning round mass or sphere. Some
terrestrial globes include relief to show mountains and other features on the Earths surface.
Map
A map is a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of some space, such
as objects, regions, and themes.
Latitude

The angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of a celestial object
north or south of the celestial equator, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
Longitude

The angular distance of a place east or west of the meridian at Greenwich, England, or west of
the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
Equator
An imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, dividing the earth into
northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0.
Prime Meridian

A planet's meridian adopted as the zero of longitude. A prime meridian is a meridian, i.e., a
line of longitude, at which longitude is defined to be 0. A prime meridian and its opposite in a 360system, the 180th meridian (at 180 longitude), form a great circle.
This great circle divides the sphere, e.g., the Earth, into two hemispheres. If one uses directions of
East and West from a defined prime meridian, then they can be called Eastern
Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere. A prime meridian is ultimately arbitrary, unlike an equator,
which is determined by the axis of rotationand various conventions have been used or advocated
in different regions and throughout history.
Tropic of Cancer
The Tropic of Cancer, also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle
of latitude on the Earth at which the Sun may appear directly overhead at its culmination. This event
occurs once per year, at the time of the Northern solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted
toward the Sun to its maximum extent. As of 26 January 2015, it lies at 232614.4 north of
the Equator.

Tropic of Capricorn
The Tropic of Capricorn (or the Southern Tropic) is the circle of latitude that contains the subsolar
point on the December (or southern) solstice. It is thus the southernmost latitude where the Sun can
be directly overhead. Its northern equivalent is the Tropic of Cancer.
The Tropic of Capricorn is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. As of
27 January 2015, its latitude is 232614.4 [1] south of the Equator, but it is very gradually moving
northward, currently at the rate of 0.47 arcseconds, or 15 metres, per year.[2]
Arctic Circle
The Arctic Circle is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. As of 27
January 2015, it runs 663345.6 [1] north of the Equator. The Arctic Circle is the southernmost
latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the
horizon for 24 hours (at the June solstice and December solstice respectively). North of the Arctic
Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year (and therefore
visible at midnight) and below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year (and
therefore not visible at noon). On the Arctic Circle those events occur, in principle, exactly once per
year, at the June and December solstices, respectively.
