What does GLOBE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sphere or ball-shaped object, especially a spherical model of the Earth marked with countries, continents and oceans.
A globe represents the Earth's surface on a three-dimensional sphere, giving a more accurate picture of size, shape and distance than a flat map. The word is also used for anything roughly ball-shaped, such as a glass light fixture, and by extension the globe can refer to the Earth itself, as in travelers who circle the globe. It comes from the Latin globus, meaning a round mass or ball.

Countable noun; often paired with the definite article when referring to the Earth as a whole, as in around the globe.
