It's approx 10,000 km. This is because the definition of a meter is 1 10,000,000th of the distance from the north pole to the equator. So it's exactly 10,000,000 meters from the north pole to the equator, which is exactly 10,000 km.
More like 10,007 km because the distance from North Pole to South Pole is 20,014 km. So divide that by two, 10007.

∙ 16y agoThe measure of a circle in degrees, is 360 degrees. So the distance from Pole to equator is one quarter of this; namely, 90 degrees. The standard way of measuring distances to north and south of the equator in degrees is called the Latitude. It is given as zero degrees at the equator, increasing to 90 degrees North, at the North pole, and increasing to 90 degrees South, at the South pole. To give the other coordinate of a position on Earth in this way, is to give the degrees around the equator, to the East or West of a particular North South line called the Greenwich meridian, which passes through the Old Naval Observatory at Greenwich (near London) England and ends at the North South line (or meridian) passing through the place of interest.. This is called the Longitude. It is given as a number between 0 and 180 degrees East, or 0 to 180 degrees West of the Greenwich meridian. Two distances in degrees specify the position of any place on Earth.

∙ 13y agoThe equator is on a 23 degree tilt in correlation to the earth's orbit. so if u thought that it was on a 23 degree tilt to the poles, that is not the case. Both poles are 90 degrees from the equator

∙ 13y agoEasy, there are 90 degrees of distance from the equator to the north pole. Each degree has 60 minutes, each minute = 1 nautical mile, therefore 60 X 90 = 5,400 nautical miles.

What are example of 3 reference points that are stationary relative to Earth?
North Pole, South Pole, and the zero-zero point (where the equator passes through the Greenwhich Meridian.)
How many miles is it from the North Pole to the South Pole?
The distance between the North Pole and the South Pole "as the crow flies" is around 20,014 kilometres, or 12,416 miles. If it was possible to travel directly through the earth, it would be 12,800km or 7900 miles. N.B. The exact point of intersection of the Earth's axis and the Earth's surface at any given moment, is called the "instantaneous pole," but because of the "wobble" this cannot be used as a definition of a fixed North Pole (or South Pole) where distance and precision is required. Incidentally, when the revolutionary French were reworking their system of weights and measures on a scientific or rational basis, the distance from the North pole to the equator on the meridian through Paris was adopted as the basis for the measure of length called the meter, in that they selected ten million meters, (or ten thousand kilometers which means the same thing) for this distance. Later surveys showed this length to be slightly in error, but it is an easy way to remember the Earth's circumference, for example: 4 times 10000 km. = 40 thousand km.
What is the end of a magnet called?
A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.
What is the difference between the sun's rays that strike at the equator and the sun's rays that strike at the poles?
Close to perpendicular.
Where is it possible for a person to walk one kilometer south one kilometer east and one kilometer north and end up in the exact same place?
Either the north or south pole. It would have to be the north pole. You can't walk south from the south pole. Using cardinal directions as a guide you can walk south from the south pole. Using general directions it could only be the north pole.
What is the distance from the north pole to the equator?
10,000 kilometers
How many degrees the south of the equator is the south pole?
The south pole is 90 degrees south of the equator. The north pole is 90 degrees north of the equator.
What place is farthest from south pole?
The farthest place north of the equator from the equator is the North Pole.
Is the north pole closer to the equator?
the north pole is the same distance to the equator as th south pole.
5. In what direction is the equator from the South Pole?
The equator is North, as is everything else on earth when you are at the South Pole. From the south Pole, every direction is north.The North pole is the northernmost point on Earth. The South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth. The Equator is a line running circumferentially around the Earth and is midway between the poles. The Equator is south of the North Pole and north of the South Pole.All lines of latitude -- including the Equator -- are north of the South Pole.
Is Antarctica to the south of the equator?
Yes. The arctic is at the north pole. The antarctic is at the south pole. The south pole is below the equator. The north pole is above the equator.
How many Degrees is from the North Pole to the Equator?
90
How many degrees is it from the equator to the north pole or south pole?
90 degrees
How many kilometres is it to travel through the planet?
The diameter of the Earth from North Pole to South Pole is about 12713.6 kilometers. The distance through the Earth from opposite longitudes at the equator is farther due to the rotational "bulge", about 12776.2 kilometers.
What is the distance around earth at the equator in kilometers?
40,075 klms give or take around the equator and 40,008 around from north pole to south.
Is the equator north of the Argentina or South Pole?
The Equator is north of both the South Pole and Argentina.
What are the due north of the Equator?
The North Pole is due north of the Equator.
