No, Wyoming is not closer to the North Pole than Ohio. The distance between a specific location and the North Pole is measured in terms of latitude. Wyoming is located at a latitude range of approximately 41°N to 45°N, while Ohio is located at a latitude range of approximately 38°N to 42°N. Therefore, Ohio is closer to the North Pole than Wyoming.

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.


Are the magnetic North Pole and the geographic North Pole always the same distance apart?

Actually no. Magnetic north shifts over time. It has to do with the rotation of the liquid iron inside the earth. I can't remember the exact number but I think you can estimate true north by adding 5 degrees to your compass.

What is the meaning of the science word repel?

To repel something is to keep it away. To attract something is to draw it towards oneself. "Repel" and "attract" are words usually used to describe magnetism. Magnets have two opposite ends, or "poles", called "north" and "south". When the north pole of one magnet gets close the north pole of another magnet, they repel each other. When the north pole of a magnet gets close to the south pole of another magnet, they attract each other. Chuis attarct is when to magnets push together like the north and south magnet attract. repel is when to magnets pull apart from each other like the north pole and the north pole repel
