That's one way to say it.
Another way is that the earth's axis points at Polaris. That way, you don't have to deal with the subject
of "up" and "down", which doesn't really have any meaning once you leave the earth's surface.

What are the two countries other than India which follow the INDIAN time zone?
India actually covers TWO time zones, but nations that share the earlier one are the North and East of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, The Maldive Islands and the British Indian Ocean Territory Islands. The later one is chared by Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Eastern Burma, and the North West tips of the two most Easterly islands of Indonesia. N.B. if you were to take that whole slice of longitude from Pole to Pole, to the South would lie the French Southern and Arctic Islands and then just Antarctica, whilst to the North lie Rajastan, Kyrgyztan, most of Kazakhstan, Western China and Mongolia, and part of Central Russia, before the North Pole.
Name two countries that lie to the north of india?
Two countries that lie to the North of India include Nepal and Bhutan. Other countries that are North of India include China and Russia.Two countries that lie to the north of India include China and Tajikistan.
The two states that lie entirely north of Canada's capital?
North America and Europe
What quadrant in the world does India lie in?
First Quardrant = North Latitude, East Longitude
Can circumpolar stars be included in the zodiac?
No. The Zodiac are 12 constellations that lie in the plane of the ecliptic; circumpolar ("moving around the pole") stars are well above or below the ecliptic.
What degree of latitude does the North Pole lie?
the north pole lies 90 degrees north
At what degrees north latitude does the north pole lie?
90° North.
What Degrees north latitude does the north pole lie?
90
At what degrees north latitude dose the north pole lie?
The North Pole is at 90 degrees North. Oddly enough, the South Pole is at 90 degrees south...
What ocean lie near the North Pole?
Arctic Ocean
At what degrees does the north pole lie?
90°N, 0°W
Does the UK lie approximately halfway between the equator and the north pole?
The theoretical midpoint is 45 degrees North. The UK lies mostly at 55 degrees North, making it closer to the North Pole than it is to the Equator. That explains some of the weather.
Why do all celestial objects in space not lie on the celestial sphere?
because the objects exist at different distances from earth.
What latitude is halfway between the equator and the north pole?
Most people would think it would be 45 degrees north. Since the earth is not an exact sphere, it would lie nearer 46 degrees north.
Are the north and south pole ice caps?
There are glaciers in the Arctic, but the North Pole itself is not glaciated. This is because, by their very definition, glaciers are regions of fresh water ice on land, and quite different to sea ice. The North Pole itself does not lie on any land mass, but on a floating ice sheet known as the Greenland or Arctic ice sheet - therefore, there can be no glaciers on the North Pole.
What continent lies right in the middle of the Northern Hemisphere?
The continents found primarily in the Northern Hemisphere are Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. All of them except Africa lie "right in the middle," as they have land at 45° north latitude, halfway between the equator and the North Pole.
Where is magnetic north?
'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are locationsrelatively close to 'True North' and 'True South' which mark the earth's axis of rotation. The terms 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are used to differentiate their locations from those of 'True North' and 'True South'. They have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarities of these locations. In fact, the magnetic polarity of 'Magnetic North' is a south pole, and the magnetic polarity of 'Magnetic South' is a north pole. This is why the earth's magnetic field leaves at 'Magnetic South' and enters at 'Magnetic North', causing a compass needle to point along the lines of magnetic flux towards 'Magnetic North'.
