It is truly unfortunate that most maps -- even those for children -- do not list latitudes where there is no population. This means that most maps do not include either polar areas.
Polar areas are best viewed in the context of a world globe.
lines of equal longitude, a.k.a. meridians
Left if your map is the North pole at the top, or right if your map has the South pole on the top most maps have a compass sort of icon that shows the North South East West icons on it
Zero, they are pinpoints on a map, nothing else.
The pole at the bottom of the map is typically the South Pole, which is located at 90 degrees south latitude. It is one of the two points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, the other being the North Pole. The South Pole is situated on the continent of Antarctica and is characterized by extreme cold and ice-covered terrain.
In general, longitudinal lines run in the direction of the length (longer dimension) of a thing. On a globe or map representing Earth or another celestial object, longitudinal lines run north-south, from pole to pole. Because they meet at two points, they are neither parallel nor equidistant.
The Equator is exactly between the North Pole and the South Pole. Look on a map of the world or on a globe.
Polar maps usually put the named pole at the center of the map.

i think yes because if you see a map placed flat out you will see it
You're thinking of the Prime Meridian.
The pole at the bottom of the map is typically the South Pole, which is located at 90 degrees south latitude.

from anywhere on a map south is the direction towards the south pole.
Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.
