The equator is the line that runs straight around the middle of the earth, at zero degrees of latitude.
The North Pole is at 90 degrees north and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south, so they are both equidistant from the equator.
The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude that runs around the earth at 66 degrees and 33 minutes north, that means that it is closer to the equator than the South Pole.
It's not very near to the equator but near it ;]
At the North pole, but not by much. The Earth's spin flattens it out just a little, so that the equator bulges out more than the poles do.
It is closer to the North Pole.
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator; the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
what is the distance north and south of the equator: Latitude.
Do you mean the Arctic Circle? If so, it is north of the equator. Far North. I have not heard of an Atlantic Circle. There is a North Atlantic and South Atlantic Ocean.
The Tropic of Capricorn, which runs through Australia, is definitely closer to the equator than it is to the Arctic Circle.The equator is between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Arctic Circle, so theTropic of Capricorn must be closer to the equator than to the Arctic Circle.The equator :)The Equator
The Arctic Circle lies at about 66.5622 degrees North. The Arctic is the entire area from the Arctic Circle to 90 degrees North, or the North Pole.
Equator
Look at a globe. The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole at the top of it, the South Pole is at the bottom. The equator circles the globe halfway between the two. Whichever way you read it, the Arctic Circle is closer to the equator than the South Pole is, and the Arctic Circle is closer to the equator than it is to the South Pole.
Yes.
The Arctic Circle marks an area north of the Equator, and the Antarctic Circle marks an area south of the Equator, where there is at least one 24-hour period annually of no sunrise or sunset.
well if you look at the equator it is closer to the equator then the south pole
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator, and the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
