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!

What part of the earth receives indirect rays?
The north and south poles
Where are the north and south poles located?
The location of the North and South Poles are the North and South Poles. The coordinates are North Pole 90N only , South Pole 90 S only. All the longitudes /meridians meet at these two points. Casually, but incorrectly, they are thought of as the top and bottom of the Earth.
What are the Geographical poles on the earth?
The geographical poles are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
What area of the earth receives more indirect sunlight?
north and south poles
Why is there no ice on Google earth the north pole?
Both poles the south and the north melt during summer periods. The north pole melts at a higher rate than the south. In recent years the north pole has become increasingly thinner. In 2008 it was just 3 metres, in 2009 it is down to 1 metre. Scientists predict by the end off the 2009 summer period there will be very little ice at all. Google earth is just showing this natural seasonal pattern.
What are poles of the Earth?
The north and the south
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.
Is the sun less direct in the north poles or in the south poles?
In the north pole becuase of the angle that the earth is
What are the earth's poles?
North Pole & South Pole
Does Earth have north and south magnetic poles?
Yes
What statement is true about Earth's 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.
Why does earth have two auroras?
Because the Earth has 2 poles. A North and a South.
What are the points on the Earth that are intersected by the earth's axis of rotation?
The north and south poles.
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 are some true statements for magnets and their poles?
The earth is an electromagnet. It has a north pole and a south pole. Apex: A magnet always has two poles, earth is a elecrtomagnet
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).
