Do all the inner planets have water?
Mecury has a very small amount of water at the poles.Venus has NO water at all.Earth has tons of the stuff.Mars has loads of frozen water at the poles.
Why doesn't all water at poles freeze?
Not all water at the poles freezes due to several factors, including ocean currents, salinity, and varying temperatures. The movement of warm ocean currents can prevent ice formation, while the salt in seawater lowers the freezing point. Additionally, under-ice geothermal heat from the Earth's crust can keep some water in a liquid state, even in frigid conditions. These factors contribute to the presence of open water areas, known as polynyas, despite the overall cold environment.
Why do the north and south poles stay cool all year round?
The North and South Poles stay cool all year round primarily due to their high latitude, which results in limited sunlight reaching the poles. This, combined with the reflective nature of ice and snow, leads to cooling temperatures. Additionally, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the poles to be in darkness for extended periods during winter, further contributing to their cooling.
What kind of water is a steam?
Steam is water in the vapour (gaseous) state; Ice is water in the solid state; liquid water is water in its liquid state - but the water's composition is the same in all three states.
Do all meridians converge at the poles?
By definition, a line of longitude is an imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator such that "all points on the same meridian have the same longitude".Therefore, all lines of longitude meet at a point at each of the poles.
Is earth tilted the same all the time?
Yes. The poles point to the same points in the sky all year around.

What all meet at north and south poles?
The Lines of Longitude all meet at the Poles.
Where is the earths available freshwater stored?
All fresh water is stored in the ice shelves of the north and south poles.

Do simple magnets have two poles?
all magnets have two poles
What planets have water ice at their poles?
Earth & Mars for sure, probably all the gas giants, and possibly Mercury & the Moon.
Does earths geographical North Pole move 10 km each year?
The geographic poles move hardly at all ... fractions of a millimeter in response todrastic geological events, such as extreme earthquakes.The Earth's magnetic poles can move hundreds of meters in the span of a year.

Of the total amount of water on the earth what percent is frozen at the poles?
Since the water that melts is classified as "fresh". the polar ice represents about 50% of the world supply of fresh water. Overall the polar ice is about 2% of all water.
