Light Up Your World! – A World Globe As A Christmas Gift Idea
What a great idea for the enthusiast who loves to find world destinations. Did you know that there are over well over 600 different styles of globes? WOW! 600 – that’s six hundred folks – I didn’t know that. Surely anyone could find the perfect globe as a christmas gift. . .
Have You Ever Wondered Why Are Globes Tilted?
Many globes are made to tilt at an angle of 23.5 to match the actual tilt of the Earth. Incidentally, it is this tilting of the Earth, relative to the sun as it orbits around it, that causes the seasons to change and give us more daylight hours at certain times of the year.
What are the Bumps On Some Globes?
The ‘bumps’ are called raised relief and better emphasize the mountainous areas of the world. They are there so that you can ‘SEE & FEEL’ the mountains, although their actual height on the globe is not proportional to the true relative heights of the mountain ranges
