The scientists and workers studying the health of planet Earth at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Research Station live closest to the South Pole -- on a temporary basis.
The closest "city" to the South Pole (Antarctica) would be Punta Arenas in Chile. The closest "town" to the South Pole (Antarctica) would be Ushuaia in Argentina.
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
Lima, Peru is about 830 miles from Quito in that general direction, butit isn't exactly due south ... it's about 7° east of south, at a bearing ofabout 173°.If you head exactly due south from Quito, all the way to the south pole,and then continue on in the same direction up the Earth's backside andover the top again, you pass these capital cities, at these approximatedistances:Lima, Peru. . . . . . . . . . . 97 milesSantiago, Chile. . . . . . . 450 milesSingapore . . . . . . . . . . 165 milesKuala Lumpur, Malaysia . . 15 milesPhnom Penh, Cambodia. . 230 milesBangkok, Thailand. . . . . . 65 milesVientiane, Laos . . . . . . . 73 milesOttawa, Canada. . . . . . 135 milesHarrisburg, PA. . . . . . . . 85 milesAnnapolis, MD . . . . . . . 105 milesWashington, DC. . . . . . . 80 milesKingston, Jamaica. . . . . 110 milesPanama City . . . . . . . . . 70 miles
When a north pole is brought close to a south pole, they will attract each other due to their opposite magnetic fields. The two poles will come together until they are aligned, creating a larger magnetic field around them.
Lima is between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. Since those aren't among the choices, we'll have to go with the Tropic of Cancer.
The continent nearest to the south pole is Antarctica.In fact the south pole isON Antarctica. The next nearest continent is South America, and the one afterthat is Australia.
Antarctica
Antarctica
No, it is closer.
Chile
well if you look at the equator it is closer to the equator then the south pole
The scientists and workers studying the health of planet Earth at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Research Station live closest to the South Pole -- on a temporary basis.
While there is a star which is, entirely coincidentally, pretty close to the North Celestial Pole, there is no corresponding star near the South Celestial Pole.
The closest "city" to the South Pole (Antarctica) would be Punta Arenas in Chile. The closest "town" to the South Pole (Antarctica) would be Ushuaia in Argentina.
the habitat of the emperor penguin is very cold, because they live at the south pole (or at least close to it.)
No. Sigma Octans is a star close to the south pole of the sky, but it is not particularly bright.
