Key ideas
- A globe is a model of the Earth. Because it is a ball, it shows every country's true shape and size, while flat maps always have to stretch something.
- Earth spins once every 24 hours, and that is what gives us day and night.
- The land is divided into seven continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia (Oceania), Europe, North America and South America.
