Hello there,
I'm trying to put (map) an image on a sphere (completely round),but as an absolute beginner, I don't know how to do this?
Thank you in advance...

Try this plugin. All you need to do is place the 'UVtools.rb' file in Windows>Program File>Google>Google SketchUp 7>Plugins folder and start SU.
Any difficulties, let us know

I made this model with the plugin Rich suggested:

Then just out of curiosity, I simply reloaded the Earth image with a Mars image and it kept the spherical UV mapping perfectly:

so you can even use either model any reload the image in them.
