The Arctic circle is at latitude 66.5622 degrees. Subtract this from 90 to get 23.4378 degrees - this is the number of degrees from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole.
The circumference of the earth through the poles is 40,008 km, and this represents 360 degrees, so the distance is 40,008 * (23.4378/360) = 2604.7 km, which is about 1618.5 miles.

What is the distance to the poles from the Arctic and the Antarctic Circles?
roughly 1700 miles
Why does the distance between meridians decrease as they approach the poles?
If you draw circles around the Earth horizontally, the circles at the top and the bottom are going to have a smaller radius. But there are still the same number of meridians passing through each and every one of those circles. Logically it follows that in order for that scenario to be possible, they must get closer together at the poles of the planet. They all come together at the poles.
Are Arctic and Antarctic circles poles?
No. The circles are circles. The poles are points. If the circles were points, then they might be called the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, but they wouldn't be called the Arctic and Antarctic Circles since they would be only points.
What is the distance to both artit and Antarctic circles?
The question doesn't specify from which starting point. The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are roughly 23.5 degrees from the north and south poles respectively, which is roughly 1,620 miles (2,608 km).
On which type of map does distortion increase with distance from the poles?
what is the poles distance of space and matter.
Is the equator a pararllel or a meridian?
Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles. Parallels are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel is the same distance from a pole. The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all other latitudes are measured from it.
How many degrees is it from the North and South Poles to the Arctic and Antarctic Circles?
The Arctic and Antarctic Cirles are 66.5619° from the North and South Poles.
Is the Equator a parallel or a meridian?
The equator is a parallel. Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles. "Parallels" are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel is the same distance from a pole. The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all other latitudes are measured from it. A parallel
Which distance is greater?
The distance between the North and South poles
Do the circles formed by the lines of latitude get smaller as they get closer to the North and South Poles?
Yes.
Halfway between the north and south poles what circles the globe at 0 degrees?
The equator is a line of latitude that circles the Earth at 0 degrees. It is halfway between the North and South Poles, dividing the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What is the measure of gravity at poles?
At poles, gravity is maximum as distance from center is largest.
