What divides the globe into units called poles?

Answer 1

No. Each of the two 'poles' is a definite place ... a point on the surface of the earth.

The earth is spinning, once every 24 hours (which is the reason we have day and night).

If you picture the earth as a spinning Basketball, you can imagine a giant pencil stuck through it

that it spins on. The places where the giant pencil goes into the ball and comes out of the ball are

the poles. If there was no spin, there wouldn't be any poles.

The location of the north pole is 90 degrees north latitude.

The location of the south pole is 90 degrees south latitude.

Answer 2

The Earth's poles are points, not units. They're the two points at opposite ends

of the Earth's rotational axis. They're located at 90 degrees north latitude and

90 degrees south latitude.

Answer 3

The globe is divided into units called poles by imaginary lines that run north to south. The North Pole is located at the northernmost point on Earth, while the South Pole is located at the southernmost point. These poles serve as reference points for navigation and geographic location.

Answer 4

No, line of latitude (and longitude) divide the earth into degrees, minutes and seconds. Poles are fixed points at the extreme north and south of the planet.

Answer 5

The units of latitude and longitude are degrees.
