Question

what are the limitations of a globe?

Answer 1

The limitations of a globe are:

1. A globe cannot give the correct idea of the distances between two places.

2. A globe is too small to get the actual size of an area.

3. The types of terrain and landscape of a place cannot really be figured on a globe.

Answer 2

A globe is a small representation of the earth. One of the disadvantages of using a globe is that is too big and bulky to be used as compared to a map. To find an exact place becomes very difficult and clumsy in a globe. Because of its size, it is very difficult to carry and handle it. One part of the earth is viewed at one time. The whole view is impossible to view as compared to the view of the map.
