Ramadam is a month of pray and fasting. Since practicing Muslims are required to face Mecca in order to pray, it becomes a question of determining which direction to face. With out a GPS device, it would require knowledge of constellations and time of year in order for a Muslim to determine which direction is Mecca.

No, the Aliens that use it, keep it under control.
What is the distance east and west from pole to pole?
The answer is either "zero" or "non-existent", for a number of different reasons:-- From either pole, there is no such thing as 'east' or 'west'. Every direction fromthe north pole is south, and every direction from the south pole is north.From either the north or south pole, the other pole is about 12,440 miles away,in ANY direction.-- From any point on earth except the poles, if you keep going far enough southyou'll eventually reach the south pole, and if you keep going far enough northyou'll eventually reach the north pole.But from any point on earth except the poles, if you keep going far enough east or west,you'll eventually wind up back exactly where you started, but you'll never reach either pole.Weird, eh ?
Why are the poles called the north and south pole?
The north and south pole are the earth's equivalent of a bar magnet, with a north and south pole. If you hold a bar magnet up, tied to a piece of string, the north pole of the bar magnet will face the earth's north pole. The earth has an inner magnet. Since the directions, north and south, pre-date the use of a magnetic compass, the compass needle was labeled according to which direction it pointed. The magnetic pole in the north is, in reality, a south magnetic pole since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it. Try not to let that keep you awake tonight.
How does wildlife survive in the north and South Pole?
The same way animals do that aren't in the North Pole...Except they have more hair than the others to keep them warm. It is important to note that there are not actually any animals at the North Pole itself, but rather, these creatures dwell mainly in the arctic regions around the North Pole. The North Pole cannot support animal life - it is nothing more than a floating ice shelf. Those that live in the Arctic waters (which are warmer than the North Pole) have thick layers of blubber and fat to insulate them against the cold. They feed on fish and zoo-plankton on the water, none of which are warmblooded so are not affected by the temperatures. Those that live on the continents within the Arctic are living in regions much warmer than the North Pole, so have more food sources.

What is the only direction you can travel from the North Pole to south on land?
If you're standing at the north pole, you can travel in any direction you feel like.But no matter which direction you go from there, it's south.One way to understand that is: No matter what direction you travel from the north pole,if you just keep going long enough and far enough, you'll wind up at the south pole.
