Is value of g is greater at the poles or at equator?
The expression for acceleration due to gravity isge=GMe/r2Acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the center of the Earth and the object. The acceleration due to gravity produced in an object on the surface of the Earth is dependent on the radius of the Earth. Earth is not a perfect sphere (slightly bulging out at the equator) its radius decreases as we move from the equator to the poles. At the equator and at sea level its value is about 9.78 m/s2 and at the poles it is 9.83 m/s2. Its mean value is taken as 9.8 m/s2 for all calculations.
How did the North Equatorial and South Equatorial get their name?
The North Equatorial Current got its name from the fact that it is north of the equator and vise versa with the South Equatorial Current, the fact that it is South of the Equator.
How does latitude and longitude impact on the climate of Sydney Australia?
When countries are closer to the equator, the climate begins to increase. Vice versa away from the equator. There is no scientific explanation for any climate changes when you go either east or west.
Do water temperatures tend to cool off as you move away from the equator?
Yes, but remember certain ocean currents carry warm water from the equator to cooler regions and vice versa. Convection currents create chaos. XD
Why are the equator and the prime meridian so important?
If there was no equator, how would we know exactly where the Northern Hemisphere is split by the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa? Ultimately we would have to take an imaginary guess but it is the center of the earth and I believe that that is why it is important for navigational purposes as well.
Is the north of Italy closer to the equator than the south or vice versa?
The South of Italy is closer to the equator than the North
Do magnetic poles that are not like attract?
Yes, the north attracts south, and vice versa. Just as like poles repel.
Which countries have summer in December?
Summer occurs south of the equator at the same time winter occurs north of the equator and vice versa.
What are the relationships between latitude and the equator?
The distance between imaginary lines around the earth parallel to the equator. The relationship is that they all travel from east to west or visa versa.

The North Equatorial Current got its name from the fact that it is north of the equator and vise versa with the South Equatorial Current, the fact that it is South of the Equator.
What causes day and night vice versa?
The rotation of earth on its axis.
Does the earth rotation causes season?
No. Rotation (spin) causes days and nights. It is the tilt of the Earth as it revolves around the sun that causes the seasons, by changing the angle and duration of sunlight reaching areas of each hemisphere. Summer in the northern hemisphere is winter in the southern, and vice versa. Between these two extremes are spring and fall. Areas closer to the equator experience much less seasonal variation in daylight.
In Tanzania why is it cold in July?
Because it is below the equator line and when it is winter here it is summer there, visa versa Actually, in Tanzania it is hot pretty much all year round as it is near the equator.
What causes the change from day to night and vice versa?
Earth's rotation on its axis
When 2 south poles of a magnet are put together what happens?
It doesn't matter if two south or two north poles meet, the will create a sort-of-force-field around that pole. For the south pole, it is attracted to north poles and averted from its own kind. For north, vice versa.
