    A globe model of earth does not distort surface features.

    Explanation:

    A conical projection involves projection of maps of Earth's surface on a surrounding cone and then flattened into a plane surface having concentric circles with latitudes and longitudes. Here distortion happens at poles where the conic projections leave the polar regions. Cylindrical projection involves projections of Earth's surface onto a cylinder with globe centered horizontally. Distortion occurs maximum at poles and minimum at the equator. A globe is a presentation of a celestial body Earth. It does not distort the surface but just scales. A map is the systematic projection of latitudes and longitudes onto a plane. Depending upon the projection used, a map is distorted to some angle.
