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).
What else can I help you with?
How many degrees latitude is the equator from the poles?
The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.
Are geography poles made of latitude?
The Geographic Poles are just points; 90 Degrees North or South Latitude.
What do lines of latitude do as they get closer to the poles?
As lines of latitude get closer to the poles, they get shorter in length and converge towards a point at the poles. This is because the Earth is a sphere, and the lines of latitude represent circles around the Earth. The lines of latitude are farthest apart at the equator and gradually come together towards the poles.
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.
Parallels measure distance from the equator to this?
Parallels measure distance from the equator to the poles, specifically the North and South Poles. They are lines of latitude, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the poles at 90 degrees latitude. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.
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.
Do the circles formed by the lines of latitude get smaller as they get closer to the North and South Poles?
Yes, the circles formed by the lines of latitude get smaller as they get closer to the North and South Poles. This is because the lines of latitude are parallel to each other, so as they approach the poles, they shrink in size until they reach a point at the poles themselves.
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
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.
