What does a globe look like?
1 Answer
A globe looks like a large sphere mounted on a base to best present a three-dimensional view of the Earth. Some globes feature natural colors and have textured surfaces that depict the elevation of different places in the world, while others have a wide variety of colors to clearly show the borders of countries. Globes may have very ornate or simple, minimalist bases. Shop a wide range of globes on 1stDibs.
