To provide a terrestrial globe easy to maintain and check, and capable of keeping the fine sight of the map provided on the spherical body for a long time.
This terrestrial globe is provided with a hollow spherical body 2 provided with a map on its outer surface and having an opening part 4 on the bottom so as to transmit light, driving means 17 and 18 for rotating a light source 19 and the spherical body 2 incorporated into the spherical body 2 respectively, a support stand 3 to support the spherical body 2 rotatably, and a long-length arm 16 whose one end is fixedly connected to the support stand 3 and another end is inserted into the opening part 4 of the spherical body 2. In this case, the opening part 4 has an opening area capable of inserting the arm 16 in which the light source 19 and the driving means 17, 18 are fixed thereinto.
