A globe is a spherical 3D model of the earth which shows how the Earth looks. It defines the shape of the earth which is not exactly a sphere, but flattened on the poles and bulging near the equator. The globe represents the different continents or landmasses and the water bodies that are present in it. Now, to locate any point on the earth we need a reference point. Thus geographers and map makers created a network of imaginary lines. The imaginary lines drawn horizontally from left to right specifies the North-South position of a point on the Earth surface and are called Latitudes. Similarly, imaginary lines drawn vertically (up and down) that meet at the North and South Poles are known as meridians or longitudes.
Latitudes and longitudes together are called co-ordinates and help to understand the exact position of a point on the earth.
