Because wherever you are, "down" means "toward the center of the Earth".
That means that if there's one person standing at the north pole and another
one standing at the south pole, their "downs" are in exactly opposite directions.
The same goes for one person in the middle of South America and another one
in Taiwan. "Down" for one of them is "up" for the other one.
The gravitational attraction between you and the Earth is always straight toward
the center of the Earth, no matter where on Earth you are.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if you make a hole from north pole all the way to the south pole and fall into it?
you will end at north pole
What season is it in Australia when the Sun doesn't set at the South Pole?
The sun rises at the South Pole on about September 21 and sets on about March 21. These dates mark the beginning of spring and the beginning of fall. The seasons in Australia are the same as those at the South Pole -- the answer you want is: two seasons, spring and summer.
Where would you fall if all directions pointed north?
You would be falling at the South Pole
What season is it in the Northern hemisphere if the south pole tilts toward the sun?
Fall or winter.

Where is down for people in the south pole?
I think from wherever on earth you are accept the equator down is the direction toward somewhere warmer and up is toward colder regions. From the North and South Poles down is every direction you can go It is a very good question: Any direction is always relative to your frame of reference. On the Earth, down is normally towards the centre of the Earth - no matter where you are, England, US, Australia, Mexico or the South Pole. We look down at the floor and look up to the ceiling. However, if you were standing on your head, you could say that you are looking up at your feet whilst looking down at the floor, whilst someone standing next to you would say a) you look silly and b) you are wrong. Down is towards my feet, but both agree on the direction but not terminology. The frame of reference. If you were on Jupiter the same rules would apply, but if you were floating in space then there would be no real up nor down. Generally down is always going to be the direction of the greatest gravitational attraction or in which direction an object will fall in free fall. Hence you "fall down", not "fall up".
Are the Himalayas near the south pole?
That depends on what you call "near". Various points in the Himalayan range fall between roughly 8,000 and 8,750 miles from the south pole, but only between 3,700 and 4,400 miles from the north pole. So even if you feel they're near the south pole, you'd have to acknowledge that they're even nearer to the north one.
What are the points on the celestial sphere that are directly overhead at earths poles?
They're called the celestial poles and they move over time (due to Earth's precession).If the axis of the Earth were extended into space, the North Pole would point almost exactly at the giant star appropriately called Polaris, in the tail of the Little Bear or handle of the Little Dipper. The South Pole doesn't have so convenient a marker; it would fall several degrees away from the long axis of a small bright asterism known as Crux, the Southern Cross. The nearest visible star to the south celestial pole is a very dim star called Sigma Octantis, and even it's not really all that close to the pole (about a degree away).By 4000 AD, the celestial south pole will be very near the significantly brighter (though, at about magnitude 4, still quite a bit dimmer than Polaris) Gamma Chameleontis. At that time the north celestial pole will be very close to Gamma Cephei, a magnitude 3.2 star (also dimmer than Polaris, which is magnitude 2).Unfortunately, between now and then, the celestial poles won't point to any stars in particular. By about 3000AD, there will be no notable stars very near either of them.
What direction is north south east west?
east is where the sun sorge, west is where the sun fall, north is the opposite of east and south is the opposite of west.
How big will the ozone layer get?
The ozone layer is largest when it is spring / fall at both poles. It is smallest when it is winter at the South pole.
Why do Seasonal change?
Seasons change because the Earth revolves around the sun in a period of one year; you have the southern hemisphereand the northen hemisphere of the Earth. Earth is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun. So when our North Pole is tilted toward the sun, we get summer in the Northern Hemisphere (winter in the south). When the South Pole is tilted toward the sun, we get winter. So if a planet is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun, it should have seasons
Why don't people who live in Australia fall off the bottom of the Earth?
The gravity of the Earth is pulling on all matter, on and around it, attracting it toward the center of the Earth. Only at the North Pole are people literally being pulled "downward" as opposed to "inward." You might just as easily ask why people in North America and Europe don't just slide helplessly down the sides of the Earth.
