The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
The North Pole is at 90 North & the South Pole is at 90 South.
The Earth's North Pole is a magnetic south pole and the South Pole is a magnetic north pole. This means that the North Pole of a compass needle points towards the Earth's magnetic South Pole, and vice versa.
90° north latitude is the location of the north pole. 90° south latitude is the location of the south pole.
No, the South Pole is not warmer than the North Pole. The South Pole is typically colder than the North Pole due to its higher elevation and location on a continent surrounded by a vast ice sheet.
North and South Pole.
The south-seeking or, simply, the south pole of a magnet points in the direction of the location on the earth called 'Magnetic South', located in the southern hemisphere. Because 'unlike poles attract, the magnetic polarity of this location is north. By the same logic, the magnetic polarity of the location called 'Magnetic North' is south.Do NOT confuse locations ('Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South') with magnetic polarities.
Johannesburg is closer to the South Pole.The location of Johannesburg, South Africa is 26.2041° S, and the South Pole is located at 90 degrees S.It is closer to the South Pole.
It takes about 12,450.5 miles from the north pole to the south pole or south pole to north pole.
The North Pole is located at the northernmost point of the Earth. The South Pole is located at the southernmost point of the Earth.
'Magnetic North' is a term used to distinguish that LOCATION from 'True North'. The magnetic polarity of Magnetic North is south because it attracts the north pole of a compass needle (unlike poles attract).
On a globe of the Earth, the North Pole is located at 90 degrees North latitude and the South Pole is located at 90 degrees South latitude. For a globe of Mars, the North Pole is approximately at 90 degrees North latitude and the South Pole is approximately at 90 degrees South latitude. For a globe of Jupiter, the North Pole is around 30 degrees North latitude and the South Pole is around 30 degrees South latitude.
The most significant difference is that the South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica and the North Pole is located on a very large floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean.
