Why do we have north and south polarity?

If you mean why planet Earth has a north and a south pole, that's the result of Earth's rotation. The rotation is around an axis; the endpoints of the axis (where this axis goes through Earth's surface) are called north pole and south pole.


Is the North Pole actually the South Pole?

No, the North Pole and South Pole are not the same. The North Pole is located at the top of the Earth, while the South Pole is at the bottom. They are opposite ends of the Earth's axis.

What is the center point from which all meridians begin and which is the north extremity of the earths axis?

All meridians of longitude converge at the north pole, which is the north extremity of the Earth's rotational axis. They also converge at the south pole, which is the south extremity of the Earth's rotational axis. Neither ponit is the 'beginning' or 'end' of the meridians.


What is the line that go through north and south pole?

Point that earth axis passes through?

The Earth's axis passes through the North and South Poles. This axis is an imaginary line that runs through the center of the Earth from the North Pole to the South Pole. It is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun, which is what causes the seasons.


Are there more there one pole?

Yep. The north obviously, and the south. Additionally, you'll have the North Pole and South Pole proper, as well as the North Magnetic Pole and South Magnetic Pole.


How does the earth spin around?

Earth spins around its axis(or imaginary line from the north pole to the south pole) by gravity from earth itself and the surrounding planets.
