To suggest that map projection of satellite imagery on to a GLOBE greatly distorts the images around the poles is a complete lie. Distortion at the poles when projecting a globe on to a flat map is known to cause distortion as the meridians are spaced much farther apart at the equator than at the poles. To claim the same applies to a globe is crazy. How would a satellite image around a ball cause distortion in one area vs another? Simple, it would not!

The ends of this are the north and south poles?

The Earth's axis of rotation runs through its geographic poles—the North Pole and the South Pole—resulting in the ends of the Earth. These poles are where the Earth's latitude lines converge, marking the northernmost and southernmost points on our planet.

What two poles do magnets have?

Magnets have two poles, these poles are called the North pole and the South pole. The North pole is the side of the magnet that points to the Earth's North pole when freely suspended.


Do north pole and north pole attract each other?

If you're talking about magnets, then yes, north poles attract south poles.Two North poles repel, and two South poles repel.If you're talking about the Earth's north and south poles, those are justlocations. They're about as far apart as it's possible to get on Earth, andthey have no influence on each other.

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).
