How to wrap multiple 3D objects around a UV sphere? I am a total NEWBIE in Blender.

I want to Wrap or Overlay (might be the wrong word to use) a 3D Mesh Object around on a UV Sphere (Mesh) and also want it to be laying on the surface of that Sphere. (Please see to the image I attached)

I have manually tried to lay the 3D Mesh Objects over the surface but it takes me ages to align the 3D Object on the surface of the Sphere.

Please help, thank you.
From what I can understand you want your 3D mesh object to "wrap" around the sphere. I think the shrinkwrap modifier can help.
