Do you weigh the same on the Equator as you do at the poles?

no, we do not weigh the same at the poles because as the earth is not perfectly round and is like an orange, the distance between the object and the earth's core is less due to which we weigh more on poles

Does the equator pass though the Arctic Ocean?

No, it goes round the middle of the Earth, not through the poles.


What is a quator?

Possibly you mean The Equator, which is the imaginary line which runs round the Earth halfway between the poles.


Line of longitude arent parallel to each other why?

Lines of longitude converge at the poles because they all meet at the North and South Poles. This is different from lines of latitude, which run parallel to each other and never converge.


Why does the length of a parallel decrease toward the poles?

You may be thinking of the distance between lines of longitude. The length of the lines of latitude decrease because the Earth is round, so the length of the line is shorter at the poles than it is at the Equator. The distance between the lines of longitude is shorter as you move toward the poles, again, because the Earth is round. All lines of longitude are the same length.


Where are the poles in round magnet?

In a round magnet, the poles are located at opposite ends of the magnet. One end will be the North pole and the other end will be the South pole. Magnetic field lines flow from the North pole to the South pole.

Why do the north and south poles stay cool all year round?

The North and South Poles stay cool all year round primarily due to their high latitude, which results in limited sunlight reaching the poles. This, combined with the reflective nature of ice and snow, leads to cooling temperatures. Additionally, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the poles to be in darkness for extended periods during winter, further contributing to their cooling.


What round shape is earth?

Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical in shape but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation.


Why does the length of the parallel decreases towards the pole?

You may be thinking of the distance between lines of longitude. The length of the lines of latitude decrease because the Earth is round, so the length of the line is shorter at the poles than it is at the Equator.

What are stars located near the Earths poles that can be seen year-round at all times of night called?

Stars located near the Earth's poles that can be seen year-round at all times of night are called circumpolar stars. These stars appear to rotate around the pole and do not rise or set like other stars in the sky due to the Earth's rotation.
