If you were standing at the equator which way would the cold air be coming from southpole appear to be moving?

Answer 1

It depends on which way you are facing. If you are facing north then it appears to be moving from your front to behind you. If you are facing west then it is moving from your right to your left. If you are facing east then it is moving from your left to your right. If you are facing south then it is coming from behind you and going out in front of you. Regardless of where you are standing on the equator, south is still south, north is still north, east is east and west is west. The only place where some question may occur is if you are standing on the exact north or south pole. If you are exactly on the north pole, then all wind comes from the south and goes to the south. That's because as you stand on the North Pole and point, everywhere that you point is south. The same happens at the South Pole. Everywhere you point is north. It is like the question, "If you are in a square house and all four walls face south, and a bear walks past, what color is the bear?" The bear is white because it is a polar bear. The only place that the house can be, is dead center on the North Pole. Hope that helped.

Answer 2

The cold air from the South Pole would appear to be moving from south to north as the Earth's rotation causes winds to deflect towards the east at the equator in a phenomenon known as the Coriolis effect. This means that winds blowing towards the equator from the south will be deflected to the west, giving the impression of coming from the south but actually moving northward.
