The further north you go in the northern hemisphere the lower in the sky the sun appears. This affects the amount of solar energy the north pole (or south pole) gets. Also the north pole has open ocean (or ice) and the south pole has land with ice on it. Because of this the north pole has ocean water that can circulate whereas the south pole has rock that cannot circulate energy. This leads to milder temperatures at the north pole verses the south pole. In the long run the angle the sun appears in the sky directly affects along with the length of daylight hours how warm it gets at the pole(s).

90 degrees
North Pole and South Pole line is longitude or latitude?
Both poles are noted as 90 degrees. At the poles, all lines of longitude meet. You could say that the poles, then, are indicated as 90 degrees of latitude, but since there is no longitude, latitude can be assumed.
Which what is latitude?
Latitude is the curvature of the Earth where it is hotter on the equator and it gets colder nearer the poles.
Does seasonal temperatuer exist in Venus'?
I think that temperatuer does exist in venus because mars has ice capsand all the seasons but its cold. Venus has seasonal temperatuer but we dont notice it.
Which lines meet at the poles latitude or longitude?
longitude
What is latitude equivalent to?

How many degrees of latitude are there from the North to the South Pole?
There are 180 degrees of latitude between the poles.
Are lines of latitude perpendicular parallel or intersecting?
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
What are the Geographical poles on the earth?
The geographical poles are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
Are the poles made of lines of latitude?
The poles are just points at 90 degrees north and south latitiude.
