The globe is a sphere.

The volume of a sphere is given as


(4)/(3)\pi r^3

The diameter =30 inches

the radius =30/2=15 inches


\begin{gathered} \text{The volume of the globe=}(4)/(3)*3.14*15^3 \\ =(4)/(3)*3.14*3375 \\ =4*3.14*1125 \\ =14130. \end{gathered}

Hence the volume of the globe is


14130\text{cubic inches}

Therefore the volume of the globe is 14130 cubic inches
