What else can I help you with?
What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?
Lines of longitude are further apart at the equator than at the poles. This is because the Earth's circumference is greatest at the equator, causing the lines of longitude to be spaced farther apart to cover the same distance around the Earth.
How far is it from the surface to the center of the Earth?
It's farther from the equator than from the poles, but the average distance is 6371 km (3959 miles).
Why is gravity stronger at the poles than the equator?
Gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator because of the Earth's shape. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its rotation. This bulging at the equator causes objects to be farther away from the center of the Earth, resulting in weaker gravitational pull compared to the poles.
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
Venezuela is farther from the equator than Iran true or false?
True. Venezuela is farther from the equator than Iran.
Why gravity is stronger at poles than along the equator.do you know why?
Since the earth is spinning ... an object on the equator is moving roughly 1,000 miles per hour ... the earth is somewhat bulged at the equator. Its diameter at the equator is a little larger than the distance between the north and south poles. For that reason, when you stand at the pole, you're a bit closer to the center of the earth than when you stand on the equator. The farther you are from the center of the earth, the lower the force of gravity between you and the earth. So the force is less at the equator and more at the poles.
Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?
No, centrifugal force is greater at the poles than at the equator because the Earth's rotation causes a bulging effect at the equator that counteracts the centrifugal force. This is why objects weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the poles.
Why are averages temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
Is the altitude of the tropopause greater at the equator than at the poles or at the poles than at the equator?
It is greater at the Equator. The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere varying in altitude from approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) at the poles to approximately 18 kilometers (11 miles) at the equator.
Is North Winter Colder Than South Winters In Australia?
The reason is because in the North it is farther than the equator so the farther the equator is the colder it is. In addition, Australia is closer to the equator
Is Uganda farther from the equator than Kenya?
The equator runs through both.
Is Denver or Berlin closer to the equator?
Berlin is farther north, and thus farther from the equator, than any part of the U.S. except Alaska. Therefore, Denver is much closer to the equator than Berlin.
