The distance between the North Pole and the South Pole "as the crow flies" is around 20,014 kilometres, or 12,416 miles.
If it was possible to travel directly through the earth, it would be 12,800km or 7900 miles.
N.B. The exact point of intersection of the Earth's axis and the Earth's surface at any given moment, is called the "instantaneous pole," but because of the "wobble" this cannot be used as a definition of a fixed North Pole (or South Pole) where distance and precision is required.
Incidentally, when the revolutionary French were reworking their system of weights and measures on a scientific or rational basis, the distance from the North pole to the equator on the meridian through Paris was adopted as the basis for the measure of length called the meter, in that they selected ten million meters, (or ten thousand kilometers which means the same thing) for this distance. Later surveys showed this length to be slightly in error, but it is an easy way to remember the Earth's circumference, for example: 4 times 10000 km. = 40 thousand km.

How many kilometers from the north pole from the equator?
It's approx 10,000 km. This is because the definition of a meter is 1 10,000,000th of the distance from the north pole to the equator. So it's exactly 10,000,000 meters from the north pole to the equator, which is exactly 10,000 km. More like 10,007 km because the distance from North Pole to South Pole is 20,014 km. So divide that by two, 10007.
Which color of a compass needle points north?
The US standard is to have the Red point North (look at the rim of the compass, is the 'N' also red or outlined in red?) You should verify this, however, because many things can mess up a compass. I have one that works fine, but White points north because my 4 year old played with a large magnet next to it reversing the polarity. If all else fails, wait for sunrise or sunset. If you look towards sunrise, North is to your Left and South is to your right.
