Features of Earth as Studied through the Globe |
Earth is part of a big family called the solar system, where it moves around the sun like the rest of the planets.
Our world comprises continents (big pieces of land) and water bodies (like oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes).
Together, they make Earth look so colourful and lively!
The land is where people, animals, and plants live, and the water gives us life.
From the snowy mountains to deep oceans, Earth is full of amazing places waiting to be explored.

The shape of our Earth is not round but it is like an Orange: Flat at Poles.

A Globe
The globe helps us understand our home, the Earth, better. Let's have a look at some of the features of Earth we can see on the globe.
The Equator is an imaginary line that goes around the middle of the Earth, like a belt.
It divides the Earth into two equal halves:
Latitudes are like invisible lines that wrap around the Earth, running horizontally from left to right. These lines help us divide the Earth into smaller sections and find places on a map or globe.
