In latitude, each pole is 90° from the equator.
The surface distance from a pole to the equator is 1/4 of the polar circumference of the Earth (40,007.86 kilometers or 24,859.73 miles). So the distance from the equator to either pole is approximately 10,001.96 kilometers or 6,214.93 miles. This was the original basis for the definition of the meter.
The North Pole and the South Pole are far away from the equator.
The distance between the longitudes decreases towards the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge towards the poles, resulting in shorter distances between them as you move towards the North or South Pole.
closer
The latitude can be thought of as the distance from the equator. 0 degrees latitude is the equator, which is typically warmer than locations closer than the poles. As you move away from the Equator and towards the North or South poles, the weather tends to be colder. In contrast, the region between the poles and the equator often has a greater temperature range variation.
No, North poles repel each other due to their magnetic properties. Like poles (North-North or South-South) will push away from each other, while opposite poles (North-South or South-North) will attract each other.
The North Pole and the South Pole are far away from the equator.
The North and South poles
90 ... at the north and south poles.
Well, yes. The North and South poles are furthest away from the equator and thus, the coldest
It's because usually the farther you get away from the equator the colder it is north, south east or west and so on

They arecircular;parallel to each other;know by numbers which are the degrees away from the equator, ranging from 0° to 90° (North/South);are longest at the equator (0°); andget shorter towards the poles where they become 0 length at the poles (90° N/S).
The spacing of parallels decreases as you move towards the poles. This is because the lines of latitude converge towards the poles since the Earth's circumference decreases as you move away from the equator.
The south pole is 90° south of the equator.
