The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.

Does the earth spin on its true poles or magnetic poles?
Magnetic poles
Why don't the Earth's geographic poles coincide with the magnetic poles?
because of core of our earth.
What is true about earths poles?
Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.
Is earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are in the same place?
no
Why are the regions away from the equator cool?
At the equator, the sun's rays strike the earth vertically - making their path through the atmosphere shorter than at the poles - thus more of the sun's energy reaches the earth's surface. Towards the poles, the angel of the sun's rays is flatter - meaning they pass through more of the earth's atmosphere.
What the meaning of rotation of the earth?
It is the spin of the earth around an axis running between the poles.
Why does earth have two auroras?
Because the Earth has 2 poles. A North and a South.
What axis does earth spin on?
23.37 degrees Meaning that the Poles are tilted at 23.37 degrees to the angle at which the Sun's rays strike the Earth.
How many poles do magnets have?
So far I've only heard that magnets are bipolar, meaning that they have 2 poles, not to be confused with Bipolar disorder.
Does the earth spin on its true poles or magnetic poles?
Magnetic poles
Of the total amount of available water on the earth what percent is frozen at the poles?
2%
What is the meaning of pole when describing earth?
Earth has two pairs of poles, the geographic north and south poles and the magnetic north and south poles. The geographic poles are the two places where Earth's rotational axis, the imaginary line that represents the center of Earth's rotation, intersects the surface of the earth. The magnetic poles are where Earth's magnetic field diverges/converges, just like the poles of a bar magnet, except that Earth's north magnetic pole is comparable to the south pole of a bar magnet, and Earth's south pole is comparable to the north pole of a bar magnet. The locations of the geographic poles never change, but the magnetic poles wander around from time to time. In fact when studying the floor of the Atlantic Ocean for the first time scientists found evidence that the polarity of Earth's magnetic field completely reverses every few hundred millennia (the north and south magnetic poles switch places).
Why don't the Earth's geographic poles coincide with the magnetic poles?
because of core of our earth.
How do the poles help cool earths temperature?
how do the earth's poles help cool the earth's temp
What is true about earths poles?

How many magnetic poles are on earth?
Exactly 2. The North Pole, and the South Pole.
Is earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are in the same place?
no
