Answer:
Earth is best represented by a globe like the one seen in Figure below because Earth is a sphere. Sizes and shapes of features are not distorted and distances are true to scale. A globe is the most accurate way to represent Earth's curved surface. Globes usually have a geographic coordinate system and a scale.

Answer:
The exact replica of the earth is called "globe". A globe is a celestial model of Earth, or some other astronomical body, or of the heavenly sphere. Globes assist comparable purposes to maps, but unlike pictures, do not deform the surface that they depict except to scale it down
