What divides the globe into units called poles?
No. Each of the two 'poles' is a definite place ... a point on the surface of the earth. The earth is spinning, once every 24 hours (which is the reason we have day and night). If you picture the earth as a spinning basketball, you can imagine a giant pencil stuck through it that it spins on. The places where the giant pencil goes into the ball and comes out of the ball are the poles. If there was no spin, there wouldn't be any poles. The location of the north pole is 90 degrees north latitude. The location of the south pole is 90 degrees south latitude.

What is an astromical unit?
When describing distances on the scale of our solar system, conventional units of measure are not conventially sized. Miles are so small and the large things are lightyears, to permit simply compared numbers. For example, between the sun and the earth are 93,000,000 miles; Between the sun and Pluto is about 3,700,000,000 miles away. However, comparing those two numbers it has difficulties to see that Pluto is about 40 times.
