Answer:
Globe, sphere or ball that bears a map of the Earth on its surface and is mounted on an axle that permits rotation. The ancient Greeks, who knew the Earth to be a sphere, were the first to use globes to represent the surface of the Earth. Crates of Mallus is said to have made one in about 150 bce.
The two places where the rotation axis intersects the surface of the sphere are the poles (the North Pole and the South Pole). The equator is defined as the intersection of the surface of the sphere with a plane (the equatorial plane) that passes through the center of the sphere and is orthogonal to its rotation axis.
