No. Each of the two 'poles' is a definite place ... a point on the surface of the earth.
The earth is spinning, once every 24 hours (which is the reason we have day and night).
If you picture the earth as a spinning Basketball, you can imagine a giant pencil stuck through it
that it spins on. The places where the giant pencil goes into the ball and comes out of the ball are
the poles. If there was no spin, there wouldn't be any poles.
The location of the north pole is 90 degrees north latitude.
The location of the south pole is 90 degrees south latitude.

∙ 12y agoThe Earth's poles are points, not units. They're the two points at opposite ends
of the Earth's rotational axis. They're located at 90 degrees north latitude and
90 degrees south latitude.

How do distance in miles and distance in latitude and longitude units compare?
They're not comparable at all. Distance ... like what you measure when you walk, drive,or swim ... is described in units of length, such as feet, meters, or miles. Latitude andlongitude don't have any units at all, because they're angles.The distance between the north and south poles is about 12,400 miles, and it's describedin terms of 180 degrees of latitude on the curved surface of the globe. So 1 degree of latitude ...travel toward the north or south... corresponds to about 69 miles.Longitude can't even be described that simply. The angle all the way around the Earth is360 degrees of longitude, and 1 degree of longitude also corresponds to about 69 miles ofdistance, but that's only at the equator, In the case of longitude, they ALL meet at the northand south poles, so the farther you are from the equator, the less miles cover 1 degree oflongitude. At the poles, it's zero miles per degree.
Meter organizes what sounds into units called measures?
Meter organizes stressed and unstressed sounds into measures.

nanometers
What is recurrent pulsation that divides music into equal units of time?
It is called a metronome.
Is it true that lines of longitude divide the globe into units called poles?
Lines of longitude appear vertical with varying curvature in this projection, but are actually halves of great ellipses, These lines met at the poles but the distances between these lines are divided into degrees, minutes and seconds. There is no unit expressed as a "pole."

What are the characteristics of a globe?
A globe is a sphere in which two mathematical formulae are used to calculate its surface area and its volume: Surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*radius2 in square units. Volume of a sphere = 4/3*pi*radius3 in cubic units.
