Is there any difference between “globe” and “world”?

Great question! In this context, the words "globe" and "world" have the same meaning. However, the word "globe", unlike "world" can also refer to the shape of the Earth, which is also called a "sphere". "Globe" is also the term used to refer to the three-dimensional spherical object with a map on top that represents the world. Ex: She has a globe on her desk.
