What else can I help you with?
Is the sun less direct in the north poles or in the south poles?
In the north pole becuase of the angle that the earth is
If you fly due south would you reach the north pole?
No. If you fly due south, you will not reach the north pole. Though you may start your journey pointing due south, once you fly past the south pole, assuming that you did not change direction, you would begin flying north (because the Earth is round). While you would eventually reach the north pole, you would not be flying due south when you did.
What prevents wind from blowing directly from the south pole to the north?
The rotation of the Earth causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection disrupts the direct north-south flow of wind from the South Pole to the North Pole. Additionally, the complex global wind patterns caused by factors such as temperature gradients and pressure systems further prevent a direct flow of wind between the poles.
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.
What has north and south pole's?
The Earth has geographic North and South Poles, which are the points where the Earth's axis intersects its surface. Additionally, there are magnetic North and South Poles, which are not fixed and can move over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Which of these is the time of year when the sun's most direct rays reach farthest north or south?
solstice

How can one reach South America by train?
Currently, there are no direct train routes that connect North America to South America. However, one possible route would involve taking a train from North America to the southernmost point in Panama, and then continuing the journey by boat or plane to reach South America.
What are the points farthest north and south on earth?
The point farthest north on Earth is the North Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees north latitude. The point farthest south on Earth is the South Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees south latitude.
What part of earth does not receives direct sunlight?
The parts of Earth that do not receive direct sunlight are the polar regions, specifically the North and South Poles, due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This results in periods of continuous darkness during the winter months.
What is the farthest point on the Earth's surface?
north pole and south pole are the farthest points on earth
What is one half of a sphere the earth has a north and a south one of these?
Hemisphere. Earth has a North and a South Hemisphere
What direction would you to get to North Carolina from South Dakota?
Departing South Dakota you would travel southeast to reach North Carolina.
Is the south warmer than the north?
The south is usually warmer because it is closer to the equator. The closer to the equator the more direct the suns waves are which makes it warmer. In the summer though they are about the same because the Earth is tilted which makes it warmer in the north because it has more direct rays of sunlight.
Where does the earth's axis begin and end?
I believe this is correct: Theoretically, the axis is infinitely long, extending into space toward the north from the north pole, and toward the south from the south pole. When you reach the north pole, that is not the farthest north that you can travel; if you are able to go up, you will continue going north.
What direction would you travel from South America to Antarctica?
Since the earth is a sphere (a ball), you can reach anywhere by going either direction from anywhere. But the trip is usually shorter in one direction than in the other. From the Prime Meridian, the trip to North America or South America is shorter if you head out going toward the west.
