Also means
globe
Usage Note
Globo covers several round, inflated or spherical objects: a toy balloon (globo de cumpleaños), a hot-air balloon (globo aerostático), and the globe of the Earth (el globo terráqueo). Context almost always disambiguates. Do not use globo as a direct translation of 'light bulb' — that is bombilla in Spain and foco or bombillo in much of Latin America.
Examples
"Los niños juegan con globos de colores."
Natural Translation
The children play with coloured balloons.
