Lands halfway between the equator and the South Pole include Australia, Africa and South America. Australia is the most "halfway" because it does not cross the equator, unlike the other two continents.

The only equator is the equator of the Earth, that is, its center line which is half way between the north pole and the south pole. Australia (which means 'south place') is well south of the equator.

The northern hemisphere is located between the equator and what point?

=the southern hemisphere is one half of the planet. which would be south of the equator so, from the equator which equals zero to 180 degrees from the equator== hemisphere= half ball== 180 degrees+180 degrees=360 degrees which is the amount of degrees in a ball=


2. What is the angular distance from the Equator to the South Pole?

The angular distance from the Equator to the South Pole is 180 degrees. This is because the Earth is divided into 360 degrees of latitude, with the Equator at 0 degrees and the South Pole at 90 degrees south latitude. Hence, the distance from the Equator to the South Pole represents half of the Earth's latitude circle.

Would it be faster to travel to the north pole or the equator when you are in Madison Wsconsin?

It would be closer to the Equator, but just barely. Madison, Wisconsin is about 185 miles south east of Cadott, Wisconsin. Cadott is pretty much exactly half way between the North Pole and the Equator.


How many degrees of latitude between north and south pole?

Latitudes range from zero at the equator to 90° N at the north pole, and from zero at the equator to 90° S at the south pole. That's a total of 180° from one pole to the other ... exactly as you'd expect for a trip half-way around the globe.

North of the equator, i.e. between the equator and the north pole.


Is the distance around the equaor the same as the distance from the north pole to the south pole?

No, the distance around the equator is greater than the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is roughly 40,075 kilometers, while the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole (along the meridian) is about 20,009 kilometers.


Is the Equator closer to the South Pole or the Arctic Circle?

The equator is the line that runs straight around the middle of the earth, at zero degrees of latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees north and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south, so they are both equidistant from the equator. The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude that runs around the earth at 66 degrees and 33 minutes north, that means that it is closer to the equator than the South Pole.
