Globe effect

The globe effect is a special, fancy way of making a picture or video look like it's on a round earth, like a ball. It's like a pretend globe that you can spin and look at from different angles.

Imagine you have a picture or video of the earth. Normally, it would look flat, like a piece of paper. But with the globe effect, it's like you're holding a big round ball in your hands. You can see the whole earth all around, and it looks like a ball, not a flat map.

To make the globe effect, people use special computer programs that can take a flat picture or video and make it look like it's on a round ball. They stretch and warp the picture so that it fits onto the ball perfectly. Then they can rotate or spin the ball to show different parts of the earth, like zooming in on a certain country or showing the whole planet spinning in space.

The globe effect is used in lots of movies and TV shows, especially when they want to show a scene happening all around the world. It's also used for things like weather forecasts or educational videos about geography. It's a fun way to make a picture or video more interesting and special!
